March 2010

Marketplaces 2010
The Local Vertical Opportunity
March 22-24, 2010
Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina San Diego, California

Marketplaces is the BIA/Kelsey conference that focuses on the fast growing opportunities in local verticals. Since we first introduced Marketplaces in 2007, new social and mobile applications and functionality have dramatically changed the end game in the space. It isn’t (only) about classifieds and coupons anymore. Indeed, in some ways, Facebook, user reviews, video clips, blogs, dynamic offers, iPhone apps, pay-for-performance and leads management software are as important as traditional advertising.

More than half a billion dollars have poured into the vertical opportunity. At this conference, you’ll learn why. Attendees will hear from and meet all the important players in Marketplaces—the portals, search companies, verticals, promotion and coupon companies, Yellow Pages, newspapers, city guides, hyperlocal, the money people and more.

If you have a vested interest in making money in or from online verticals, you need to be at Marketplaces 2010.

Digital Strategies for Broadcasting 2010 (DSB) from BIA/Kelsey is focused on the hundreds of millions of dollars that broadcasters are poised to earn from the full array of digital services that are transforming the industry, ranging from Web sites and mobile apps to HD, 3D retrans and the new electronics.

Building off our successful conference Winning Media Strategies in 2009, Digital Strategies for Broadcasters fully leverages BIA/Kelsey’s new research program led by Chief Strategy Officer Rick Ducey, former VP research at NAB. It will feature cutting-edge analysis, and presentations from top broadcast executives and thought leaders.

Just a few of the topics DSB will cover:

The economy, Internet and a shifting ad pie

TV “Apps” — how to get yours in the new app stores

Following the audience: Just how much will mobile grow in the next 12 months? What are the most important platforms right now?

Emerging technologies affecting broadcasting: home networking, 3D-TV, media DVRs, interactive TV, Internet radio

Over the top (OTT) video — fad or future? Should stations participate?

The state and direction of HD radio

Consumer and social trends most affecting the media business

Staffing in a multi-platform world

The impact of consumer electronics on local broadcasters

The new DTV networks seeking distribution and the models and programming that are working

Sales, sales, sales — how to generate new revenues, old revenues, more revenues

Credit markets, rising stock prices, impairment and M&A

Local station valuation trends

DSB focuses on the topics most important to broadcasting executives and the ones that will drive business in 2010. Attendees will walk away with a practical and ready-to-go plan on how to respond to the underlying dynamics driving the shifting marketplace.
