Written on Tuesday, February 17, 2009

I was invited to attend this conference and was pretty enthusiastic about my attendance, but I had a pre-arranged business trip during the same period, and will, unfortunately be unable to attend. Still, I will be looking closely at the proceedings, as I expect there will be some pretty interesting talks and information flying around.

Here's the press release:

Marketing & Monetizing Mobile in 2009

DM2 Events Presents DIGIDAY: MOBILE Conference to Top Ad & Marketing Executives on March 12 in New York City


February 16, 2009—DM2 Events, a leading organizer of conferences and exhibitions for the digital content and advertising community, will host DIGIDAY: MOBILE on March 12 at the W Hotel, New York City. The C-level event will give media leaders a chance to converge and discuss high level strategies and the future of mobile content and advertising.


"In the rapid evolution of new media channels, mobile has moved to the forefront," says Sarah Schoenfelder, editor and content director for DIGIDAY. "It's important to get ahead of the curve now and learn how to create and deliver, but perhaps more importantly, monetize the potential of mobile advertising and marketing. Whoever does that best, first, will be a game changer."


Emceed by mobile marketing guru Jason Heller, EVP of Laredo Group , DIGIDAY: MOBILE will provide valuable insights and new perspectives from executives who run and control today's biggest media companies, agencies, brands and technology providers on how they use and profit from mobile media and marketing.


The half day format of the event is designed specifically to serve today's ultra busy top executives and their equally busy schedules. "It's a half day event, but a full day's worth of content," says Nick Friese, CEO of DM2 Events. "Plus, the conference still offers the valuable networking opportunities that have attendees of our events walking away satisfied with new deals and contacts in hand."


Highlights of DIGIDAY: MOBILE are set to include:

"The Elephant in the Room: The Economy"—A mobile marketer roundtable on what impact the economy will or won't have on mobile and how marketers can use mobile to gain the edge in a down market.

"The Mobile Platform Implosion" Keynote Panel Discussion—We are at a point where mobile messaging and campaign platform costs are going to drop dramatically as companies fight to survive in 2009. But in the rush to stay alive, will we miss the innovations needed to add value and take mobile marketing to the next level?

"Monetizing Mobile Content and Social Communities"—Panel discussion moderated by Adam Hirsch, Chief Operations Officer Mashable.com explores who the moneymakers in the space are and how they got there.
