The ROUNDTABLE is among the most unique, informative and inspirational events anywhere. Although the agenda is built around the critical theme of business transformation, the atmosphere is casual and collaborative. Unlike a traditional “conference,” The ROUNDTABLE is more of a facilitated discussion of issues and opportunities vital to the sustainability and profitability of the newsmedia. See a list of those who are planning to participate. Participation in The ROUNDTABLE is limited to 65.
