SIIA’s Content Division today announced that it has partnered with InfoCommerce Group (ICG) to produce the annual DataContent Conference. The event, which takes place October 9-10 in Philadelphia, PA, is the only conference devoted solely to producers of commercial data products.
DataContent has become the primary meeting ground for publishers to get in-depth and up-close looks at the new ideas, new business models and innovative new companies that are defining the business of business information. DataContent is distinguished by the quality of attendees, which include large numbers of C-level publishing executives, entrepreneurs, bankers, private equity groups and advisory companies. In partnering with ICG, SIIA will apply its more than 20 years as a leader in the information and content industry to develop new programs and broaden the event’s reach.
Combining our years of experience in information and content with ICG’s tremendous commercial data expertise will make DataContent even more valuable to attendees. We’ll bring new ideas, access to leading executives, and a broad reach among audiences that care about data publishing. The DataContent Conference and ICG’s principals have been serving this industry for over 25 years. The event is a catalyst for new talent entering the industry and has a deep and powerful connection to established players.
The DataContent Conference is focused on data publishing and draws information-based businesses, from established traditional enterprises in various stages of evolution, to cutting-edge technology in search of a viable business model. These businesses come together to learn about the latest industry developments, hear from top speakers, and identify new opportunities with those who can help make them happen. No other conference both offers a deep and highly focused discussion of business information and attracts nearly all of the leading players driving the industry. SIIA and ICG are currently working to develop the program for 2012, and more details will be announced in the near future.
