Digital Media Wire, Inc. launched in early 2000 with a simple yet compelling proposition to provide busy executives with a daily briefing of the most important news stories about the business of digital entertainment and media. Over the years, we have become a standard in publishing and events.
“We should all thank the folks at Digital Media Wire for putting on these forums and keeping us informed through their daily email newsletter. When I read the daily newsletter and attend these events, I have begun to form the conclusion that we may actually be an industry.” Chris Gorog, Chairman and CEO, Napster “DMW conferences are great opportunities to meet new companies and hear about new opportunities. I recommend them highly.” Jonathan Potter, Executive Director, Digital Media Association “I just wanted to say thanks for a great event. If you ever need us again, please let me know. Congrats on everything.” Leah Arnold, Communications Manager, Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) “It was a wonderful event.” Sarah B. Deutsch, Vice President & Associate General Counsel, Verizon Communications "Please let me know if you have anything that AOL Music or I can do for other events.” Mike Rich, AOL Music “I enjoyed it and hope to be working with you in the future.” Elliot Maxwell, Special Advisor for the Digital Economy, U.S. Secretary of Commerce (1998-2001) “Very good conference - diverse participants, meaty discussion.” Tolman Geffs, Managing Director, Jordan, Edmiston Group, Inc. “A rare chance for competitors to gather in one place and collaborate on what's working and what’s not.” NY1 News “I was thoroughly impressed with Digital Media Wire and the logistical expertise you and your team displayed in executing a successful event. I believe the forum was very informative and afforded everyone in attendance the opportunity to express new ideas about the future of entertainment. I look forward to working with you and your company in the future, and please do not hesitate to call me if I can be of assistance to you.” Michael Gravley, Governor’s Film & Entertainment Industry Liaison, The State of Georgia “It was a pleasure speaking at your show. Please keep QUALCOMM in mind for future events.” Mike Yuen, Senior Director, Games, QUALCOMM “Fantastic event...” Matt J. Railo, Partner, Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP “I enjoyed the event and appreciated the opportunity to speak.” Thomas Gewecke, SVP, Global Digital Business, Sony BMG Music “I had a lot of fun on the panel and thoroughly enjoyed the event.” Thomas Ryan, SVP, Digital & Mobile Strategy and Development EMI Music “Great conference and great attendance!” Brad Duea, President, Napster "While some of the other conferences in this space may have more "bling", they don't have the opportunity for meaningful networking like DMF is able to orchestrate." Jan Eglen, CEO, Digonex Technologies, Inc. |
