Marketing and Communications Conference 2008

July 14 2008

David Intercontinental Hotel, Tel Aviv

In the world of communications borders are shifting, new realities are arising, and consumer behavior is taking new forms. We are witnessing a revolution in the breaking of boundaries between different sectors such as wireless, Internet, advertising, marketing, and so on.

Given this changing scene, "Globes" decided to launch a new conference with the aim of taking all channels and applications and presenting the "Cross Platform Strategy" trend. This strategy rests on three pillars:
1. Marketing: one platform promotes another.
2. Content: Flow of content from one platform to another.
3. Consumer: A new world of consumer behavior.

The conference, being held this year for the first time, aims at becoming the pacesetter for this wide market. It will cover all the subjects that matter in an advanced, innovative, global communications market, and will be a forum for discussion groups and networking.

The conference will put the spotlight on each area: media, advertising, Internet, and so on, and will discuss influences and trends, analyzing each area against the background of the developments that are unique to it. Discussions will look at likely future changes, and will be aimed at analyzing and presenting new models in various sectors.

The target audience is top management from the communications, wireless telephony, media, Internet, advertising, marketing, and strategic consultancy industries; high-tech entrepreneurs; communications consultants; analysts; regulators; bloggers; and others.

Magid Abraham, President and Co-founder, ComScore
