I recently received an email inquiry from the people who manage speaking engagements for Tony Uphoff, the CEO of TechWeb, a United Business Media company (includes CMP, PR Newswire, etc.). They heard about Inverge: the interactive convergence conference from a colleague in New York and after reading all about the event they saw it as a great speaking opportunity for Tony.
After reviewing it, Tony agreed and we have confirmed him as a keynote presenter at Inverge 2008 on Sept. 4+5 in Portland, Oregon. This is great industry recognition for this relatively new conference.
Tony has the distinction of having run three of the top five B2B media brands in history during the peak of their reach, revenues and profits: InformationWeek, The Hollywood Reporter and PC Week. His breadth of experience, knowledge and insights in the space where media, entertainment and technology converge is a perfect fit for what Inverge is about and he’ll bring a lot to the table for Inverge attendees.
