The World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers (WAN-IFRA) has
combined two of its major digital media conferences into one new event ­
Digital Media Europe ­ which will be held in London on 11 to 13 April next.

The new event, which will include a Digital Trend Day, a Mobile Media Day
and an iPad and Tablet Day, is the successor to WAN-IFRA's long-time digital
events, Beyond the Printed Word and Mobile Media Day.

"As the media industry evolves, so does the need for new events to keep
abreast of developments," said Stig Nordqvist, Executive Director, Emerging
Digital Platforms for WAN-IFRA, who will chair the conference. "The issue
today for news publishers is how best to exploit all platforms, and to seize
emerging opportunities. Our new event is focused on exactly that."

Digital Media Europe will allow participants to discuss and exchange ideas
with their peers in the industry on how to create business on new platforms:
online, mobile and tablets. The three conference days can be booked
individually or as a package.

Digital Trend Day, on 11 April, will examine future business models,
sponsoring and advertising opportunities, online video, and the
possibilities for monetising social media.

Mobile Media Day, on 12 April, will focus on the new business of
applications (news apps, service apps, fun apps), on enriched services like
maps and location-based offerings, and on working with both old and new
operating systems (iOS, Android as well as wap and SMS).

iPad and Tablet Day, on 13 April, will be dedicated to product development
for tablets, case studies, strategy and pricing, and analysing and
understanding user needs.
