LAS VEGAS - (Business Wire) Richard Jalichandra, President and CEO of Technorati, will be a keynote speaker at
BlogWorld & New Media Expo, the first and only conference dedicated to the business of blogging and new media.
Show attendees can hear from one of today’s most influential voices on the Internet and learn how the socialization of blogging is shifting the paradigm of traditional media and business communication – creating an entirely new channel for people and stake holders to communicate, interact, and build relationships with one another.
Jalichandra, who took over the reins at Technorati in 2007, is a veteran Internet executive whose media experience includes leadership roles across the media spectrum – as a client, at an agency, as a publisher, and with an advertising network.
In his address, Jalichandra will present findings from Technorati’s 2008 State of the Blogosphere report, the definitive and most cited source on the pulse of the new media industry. This recent report provides comprehensive qualitative and quantitative analysis, offering deep insight on the growth, statistics, and market trends at play in this fast growing market.
Jalichandra will explore bloggers and the state of blogging today, including a look at who they are, where they are, and why they blog. Additionally, he will discuss key market drivers, such as audience demographics and motivations, a break down of industry growth based on genre and geography, and business opportunities for bloggers.
BlogWorld Expo will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Sept. 20-21, 2008, with an exclusive pre-show Executive and Entrepreneur Conference taking place on Sept. 19. E&E Conference sessions will focus on corporate blogging and the use of new media in business environments – including special appearances by well-known corporate bloggers.
