EMMA conference largest ever |
|
The EMMA 2009 Conference, held last month at Paris' ESC-EAP Business School, drew more than 75 delegates from Europe, North America and Australia making it the the most successful to date. With nine plenary and panel sessions the conference featured forty papers on topics ranging from addressable advertising to the online extensions of niche media. "EMMA's 2009 Conference in Paris showed how fast EMMA is growing and how engaged its members are in taking media management and media economics forward," said Lucy Küng, EMMA President.
Lucy also thanked host Ghislain Deslandes and his team for the outstanding support provided in hosting the conference, maintaining the high standard set by Barcelona in 2008.
In addition to a strong programme, the conference also saw the awarding of the awarding of the 2008 and 2009 EMMA Awards to Don Alfonso Nieto of the University of Navarre and Viktor Shkulev, chairman of Russian magazine group, Hachette Filipacchi Skhkulev.

 EMMA has launched its first members-only facebook page.
The group provides a platform for discussion, information exchange and is designed to provide a more flexible medium for the debate and communication than the threaded discussion structure of the existing forum. The forum will continue to be used for hosting longer documents and discussion papers.
"The design of facebook makes it easy for participants to provide regular updates and contributions. I hope that all of our members will join the new group and will find something of value," said Charles Brown, board member for the EMMA site.
The EMMA discussion board allows for the creation of discussion threads while the The Wall encourages members to add announcements, news items, short comments, views and links.
Charles will be contacting members to invite them to the group. Members already on facebook can also send a request and Charles will activate their membership.
