Conference Overview
AMC 2012 will take place in San Francisco, world capital of technology and innovation, the perfect location for an industry poised on the brink of dramatic change.
This year’s conference has been tailored to take advantage of its proximity to some of the most inventive companies of our time, both large and small.
AMC attendees will not only hear top media and technology leaders from the Bay area address issues vital to the magazine media community, they will have the opportunity for exclusive meetings at the global headquarters of two prominent digital companies (more details to come).
AMC 2012 will also examine how our print products are developing stronger and deeper bonds with readers and advertisers.
Panel topics include the changing role of the editor, exploring the ROI of social media, improving the findability of your brand in a ultra-crowded marketplace, and turning your passive readers into active brand loyalists.
AMC 2012 is chaired by Paul Bascobert, President, Bloomberg Businessweek.
