Digital Summit
Interactive One, along with partners BET Networks and the Council of Urban Professionals (CUP), held their third annual Digital Summit during Internet Week on Wednesday, May 16th at the SVA Theatre in New York City. The purpose of the Digital Summit is to bring together some of the most powerful leaders of the digital world to explore topics that impact minority online consumers the most, and the evolution of the online community and new strategies for expanding business opportunities.
This year the panel discussed “The Entrepreneur & The Big Media Company: What Roles Do “Acqui-Hires” Play in the Media M&A Landscape?” This dynamic conversation covered a range of digital acquisitions that have succeeded and failed, and provided analysis of each of their outcomes. This year’s event also featured a Power Summit Lunch, which provided senior level digital media executive an opportunity to network and fellowship.
