Why Should I Attend?
Be part of the largest gathering of local online marketers. We estimate local online revenue will grow from $16.4 billion in 2011 to $27.9 billion by 2016. The Borrell Local Online Advertising Conference will help you identify how to capture the most in your market. The Borrell conferences also bring the best and brightest to the stage. Past speakers such as Jeff Jarvis, Clay Christensen and Chuck Martin have presented some of the most compelling and insightful presentations in the business. And, if you are coming in to New York early on Tuesday, 3/20, you’ll want to attend the special Mobile Ad-Sales Workshop we have added.
Here’s What Attendees Said About Our Last Conference
"I have attended state, regional and national newspaper/media conventions annually since the 1970's. Your 2011 Local Online Advertising Conference was the best overall/venue, speakers, vendors and overall planning in years - maybe ever."
Russ Gillespie, Classified & Online Sales Director, Lancaster Newspapers, Inc.
"My compliments on putting together an incredible conference. I had the chance to mingle with some of the leading visionaries in the local mobile space, and I simply would not have had that opportunity otherwise. I found the speakers to be right on target, and it was a good balance of what is real today and what is coming down the road."
Dick Larkin, EVP, American Marketing & Publishing, L.L.C.
What Makes Our Conference So Different?
Networking is a valuable part of any great conference. You'll be able to mingle with colleagues from yellow pages, TV, radio, Internet pure-play, cable and newspapers who are trying to capitalize on the fast-growing mobile advertising industry. Our agenda, however, tends to be the biggest draw. Unlike other conferences, speakers are selected because of their understanding of "local" and their focus on "following the money" rather than the hype. We also take care to separate vendors from speakers, ensuring that you don't hear sales pitches from the stage. Vendors are a big part of the show, and we've already begun signing up the leading vendors to be available on the exhibit floor.
