advertising dollars are making their way to new online vertical and
classified sites. Consumers are finding products and services through
local search, and a growing number of businesses are building Web sites
to meet the needs of those online consumers. What will be the impact on
your business? How can traditional media leverage these vertical
categories and the associated ad dollars?
Join
BIAfn and the Kelsey Group as we answer
these questions and seek to better understand the convergence of search
and broadcast media. BIAfn will be
positioned at Booth #18.

You’ll learn why the lack of video will keep you irrelevant in the market.
And, most importantly, you’ll learn how to positively impact your revenue
and ratings.ngs.
