Greetings,
Welcome to our 16th Annual Media & Technology Conference, highlighting “Radical Reinvention.” We are delighted you could join us for this event, bringing together a senior level audience of executives and investors from across the global media, marketing and information sectors.
We have assembled an impressive roster of A-list speakers for today’s program who will share insights and case studies on how to stay ahead of fast-paced changes in the industries we serve; how to innovate and transform business models in response to rapid developments in the use of technology and data; and how to leverage M&A to drive growth and enhance product and service offerings. We look forward to hearing from this great group of speakers!
Our goal today is to present new ideas and opportunities that stimulate thinking about radical reinvention in the context of your own business models, while also allowing time for quality networking. In the end, we hope you come away from the event with at least three compelling ideas to take back to your office to share with your peers, as well as new business contacts to re-connect with in the days and weeks ahead.
As always, we are extremely grateful for the wonderful support of our world-class sponsors, including: BDO; The Boston Consulting Group; Capital One; Koller Search Partners; Merrill Corporation; Morgan Lewis; and S&P Global. We would also like to thank our speakers for contributing their time and effort to our program.
We are pleased that you could join us today and hope you have time to connect with at least one of the JEGI | CLARITY leaders while you are here.
Sincerely,Wilma H. Jordan
