Jon Miller, News Corp. Chief Digital Officer to Speak at ELEVATE Conference
I'm delighted to announce that Jon Miller, News Corp. Chief Digital Officer and Chairman/CEO of its Digital Media Group, will speak at ELEVATE: Online Video Advertising Summit, on Tuesday, June 7th in NYC. Jon will participate in a fireside chat with David Kenny, President of Akamai Technologies (and former Chairman and CEO of Digitas), following David Kenny's opening mini-keynote. The title for the mini-keynote and fireside session is "Toward Digital Dollars: The State of the Market for Premium Online Video."
Jon is one of the most experienced digital media executives in the world and it is an honor to have him participate in ELEVATE. In particular, the topic that he will address could not be timelier. Producers of premium video content are singularly focused on how to optimally monetize their content on the burgeoning online and mobile video platforms. As a board member of Hulu - and with his numerous other experiences - Jon has unique insights on the topic. In addition, News Corp. has been one of the most aggressive investors and participants in online and mobile video and so the lessons and best practices Jon will share will be invaluable.
Prior to assuming his role at News Corp. in 2009, Jon was a founding partner of Velocity Interactive Group, a private investment firm focused on digital media and consumer Internet companies. Before setting up Velocity, Jon was Chairman and CEO of AOL where he increased ad growth by 46%. Jon has also been CEO and president of USA Information and Services, now IACI and Expedia and Managing Director of Nickelodeon International. Early in his career he also served as VP, Programming and Co-GM of NBA Entertainment.
This session continues to build ELEVATE's momentum, adding to a keynote by Albert Cheng, EVP, Digital Media, Disney/ABC, and a session titled "TV Everywhere: Game-Changer for Premium Online Video and Advertising," featuring senior executives from Comcast, Disney/ESPN and Turner Broadcasting, plus many more to follow. For industry executives hungry to understand the key trends in online video and the implications for the advertising ecosystem, ELEVATE will be a must-attend event.
Early bird discounted tickets are now available. Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks.
