We’ll also have other experts on hand to explore the media industry’s dynamic digital innovation and transformation and MarkLogic’s role in helping these organizations on the journey.”
About the Keynote Speakers
As editor-in-chief of Wired magazine and author of New York Times bestseller “The Long Tail,” Anderson is one of the most knowledgeable, insightful, and articulate voices at the center of the new economy. Anderson is consistently the first to understand new economic directions and provide insight into the business opportunities they represent. He has also published “Free: The Past and Future of a Radical Price,” which was originally written as an article for Wired magazine. The book has generated incredible interest, buzz, and debate in the industry. In his research-based presentations, Mr. Anderson explains why free is the future of business and how to thrive through “freeconomics.”
In addition, David Worlock, co-chair of the Outsell Leadership Programs in the U.S. and Europe, will keynote a general session on his latest observations on digital transformation. As he notes on his website, we are entering the second decade of the 21st century and “we are past Web 2.0 and into Web 3+.” What does this mean for the publisher, the author, the consumer? What does it mean for technologists who want to seize the moment and drive innovation into their processes and products? Worlock will answer these questions and more during his session and panel at the event.
