LEADING IN LOCAL The 'Gold Standard' Conference Series for the Interactive Local Media Community
LEADING IN LOCAL: The National Impact, gathered more than 400 local
interactive media leaders in Boston, March 18-20, to zero in on how
local has evolved as an important channel for small businesses and
national players who are targeting locally.
The conference showcased the success of companies from
across the local media arena, including industry leaders Google, Foursquare,
Dex One, AOL/Patch.com, Cars.com, AutoTrader, Hearst
Newspapers, LivingSocial, NPR, Gatehouse Ventures and others.
This conference was also about the culture of innovation that is transforming "local" media – everything from native advertising to mobile services. Two special sessions highlighted the innovation at the local level.
- Keynote by HubSpot CEO Brian Halligan. Halligan's motto is "create marketing that people love."
- Entrepreneur David S. Kidder, who will
present top lessons from his new bestseller, The Statup Playbook.
Even if you were not among those who came to Boston for LEADING IN LOCAL, you can still soak up much of the knowledge, ideas and tremendous energy that emanated from the stage and exhibit hall, and throughout the hallways.

“That was an awesome show! I've been to other conferences and this was the best conference I've ever been too. This was my first BIA/Kelsey show, so I'm planning on attending as many as I can from now on. The flow of the show was good for networking, meetings, and listening to insightful domain experts. I'm glad there were all decision makers there... talking to the right people is important.”
