Over 70 successful executive level conferences since 1989.

Attendees share their reasons for attending Kelsey Group and BIA Advisory Services Events.

This has been (ILM 2008) one of the most informative conferences that I have attended in my almost 30 years in the industry. It presents a new frontier for all of us that choose to embrace it; but we must 'walk the talk' and re-invent our organizations (up & down) to realize the organizational and financial benefits.

Once again, the Kelsey team put together an event packed with 'THE players' who are driving the local internet media world. This conference is without doubt the highest value 'per minute' in the industry! Thank you for continually evolving the topics so that we all get a broad view of this rapidly changing space. I have made some of my best industry contacts and friends at this conference.

This year, I brought along a first-time attendee - He was blown away, turned to me and said, "Now I know why none of us can afford to miss Kelsey events." That about sums it up. Keep up the good work.
Brian Kraff, Market Hardware

Thanks to the entire Kelsey team for a great event!

Kelsey conferences are the only industry meetups I've ever seen that don't waste a second of your time. The speakers are all top-notch, candid and on-point. Further, the candor elicited from the likes of the heads of both industry leaders and rising startups is almost unbelievable. The quality of the attendees makes for the best hallway conversations -- I never leave without several new ideas to implement and at least one new partner or vendor.

I wanted to thank you for including Eventful in the conference last week - and also wanted to congratulate you on a great conference. You had a great turnout - great line-up - and an engaged audience. I appreciate the opportunity to be part of it.
Jordan Glazier, CEO, Eventful

I thought it was very interesting and wish that more newspaper companies had sent representatives. This is exactly the space they/we should be focusing on. Having been to many conferences, I thought it scored well in the key categories: format, content, venue, etc. When's the next one?
Mark Briggs, Assistant Managing Editor - Interactive, The News Tribune

Congratulations on a very successful conference. I had a blast and made some solid business deals.

The Kelsey Group exceeds all expectations when it comes to conferences. From the venue to the staffing, the flawless efforts of this firm shine through.

We launched our new online video advertising platform here and it was amazing! When we look at events participation, we have to evaluate each opportunity from an ROI perspective. The Kelsey events bring together THE leaders in the local and interactive media space, as well as top notch analysts and researchers. The executives that gather at Kelsey are the decision makers for their company. Given we were launching our new platform, it was critical to get in front of these business and opinion leaders and get their feedback. All I can say is the number of meetings and strategic discussions we held as a result of our participation here proves the ROI of attending and participating with Kelsey is high.

Kelsey does a great job of bringing together senior executives from local media companies and key startups in the local space. Zvents gets great value from these shows, since our entire industry congregates there for deals, conversation, and information exchange.
