The momentum for change is growing as the topic of paid content has come full circle since we started in 2002 in the aftermath of the first internet bubble burst and the online ad washout. Now, as the tumultuous economy speeds up the transformation of traditional media, and with the industry getting squeezed from all sides, the debate around the business models for digital content has become a lot more urgent.  Fill out the form below, and we’ll notify you of important updates about our conference, including registration information.

With this event, we will bring together the serious stakeholders in the industry for a high-level focused discussion of the major issues and opportunities facing us. paidContent 2010 will stay away from the religious arguments that often arise when discussing the topic of paid content, instead focusing on business strategy and models that are working (or not working) across news, information and entertainment, the people behind them, the cross-platform approach to developing these diverse revenue streams. We will look at music, tv and movie downloads, subscription streaming, a la carte payments, micropayments, subscriptions, donation model, subsidy model, mobile payments, premium mobile apps and much more.

Why Us, Why Now
For seven-plus years paidContent has kept you informed of the ways people are working to make money from digital media, entertainment and information—even as some of you picked on the name “paidContent.” Now, as paid content gains strength as the hot topic (complete with Twitter hashtag), many people have something to say.  However, we remain the best and most reliable source for coverage and insight on what’s actually being done—and this January, we’ll bring it to you in person at our first namesake conference, paidContent 2010.

Who Should be There
Senior business leaders representing publishers, content technology companies, investors, analysts, and leading members of the press and blogging community. The conference is limited to 300 participants.
