Media 2010: The Annual Forecast for Digital Media

Professionals

 

Global media leaders to reveal new decade of opportunities

for digital media creators, 

marketers and advertisers


One-day conference presented by Fairfax Digital and powered by XMediaLab

Friday 19 February 2010

Doltone House, Sydney



Sydney, December 18, 2009 Fairfax Digital in association with XMediaLab announces Media

2010: The Annual Forecast for Digital Media Professionals a one day conference bringing

together leaders from some of the world’s most influential media companies including Daily Mail,

New York Times, MSNBC.com, Reuters, and Al Jazeera , to discuss the rapid evolution taking

place in the media, marketing and advertising industries and where opportunities will lie in the

new decade.


As we enter 2010, traditional rules for media success no longer apply. The rise of new content

delivery platforms and the rapid fragmentation of audiences has changed the media, marketing

and advertising landscapes – creating both challenges and opportunities.


Media 2010 will bring together the world’s best digital thinkers to discuss the strategies and

technologies that will determine the success of media, marketing and advertising ventures as we

enter a new era.


Jack Matthews, CEO of Fairfax Digital, said: “Following the success of Media 08 and Media 09,

we will again be bringing the world’s best and brightest digital media players to Sydney for their

insights.”


“Media 2010 is Australia’s chance to examine how the rules for media success are being

rewritten. It’s a fantastic opportunity for all media professionals – from executives, creatives and

media buyers, to strategists, journalists and technologists – to come together to hear about and

discuss the trends, technologies and business strategies that will shape the digital landscape in

the next decade.”


Hosted by Fairfax Digital CEO, Jack Matthews, confirmed Media 2010 keynote speakers to date
