2009 African American Magazine and Internet Summits Come To Chicago, March 16th - 17th

For the first time, Target Market News will hold two of its highly anticipated Summits on back-to-back dates. The Sixth Annual African-American Magazine Summit will be held on March 16th in Chicago, and will be followed by The Second African-American Internet Summit on March 17th. The combined Summits are expected to attract 400 marketing, advertising, media and research professionals.

The African-American Magazine Summit will offer an entire day of presentations and panel discussions examining the latest research and trends in advertising, acquisitions and start-ups; circulation strategies; Internet strategies; untapped business opportunities and more. Specific topics and participants will be announced shortly. The most recent Magazine Summit was held in New York at Time Inc. and featured participation from Carol H. Williams Advertising, Essence Communications, Footsteps Group, Johnson Publishing Co., Media Economic Group, NV Magazine, On Wheels Inc., Uptown Magazine, Vigilante Advertising, and ESPN Magazine among others.

The African-American Internet Summit follows a highly successful debut event held last October in Chicago. The gathering featured presentations from AOL BlackVoices, BET.com, BlackWeb 2.0, Burrell Communications, Google, GlobalHue, Lee Moss Media, Interactive One, Nia Enterprises, RushmoreDrive.com, Synovate, The Media Audit, TUVOnline, The Axis Ad Agency, and UniWorld Group, among others. The last Internet Summit had a sold-out capacity of 200 attendees.

Both events will take place at the Wyndham hotel in downtown Chicago. Pre-registration is required. Attendees can register online by visiting www.targetmarketnews.com.

I, personally, will be attending both events - and encourage you to do the same. These conferences are one-of-a-kind, and offer excellent networking opportunities.
