Senior Leadership Conference session:
Revenue evolution
Newspapers of all sizes are diversifying their revenue from the traditional print and digital efforts. From video production to events and other non-traditional programs, this session at the Senior Leadership Conference will focus on the ones that are working and how newspapers of all sizes can make it happen.
 
The Senior Leadership Conference, set for Oct. 16-18 in New Orleans, is the most important meeting of the year for newspaper publishers, owners and leaders.
 
This isn’t your typical meeting. The focus is on interactive discussions on the critical issues facing our industry. This meeting isn’t full of PowerPoint presentations; rather, it is consumed with the search for the solutions needed for success. Each session provides opportunities to learn from what others are doing and to share your experiences with your peers.
