SIIA Previews heads to London

Once again, I"ve been drafted to help put together a new SIIA Previews event, this time in London at the Global Information Industry Summit ("GIS").

We are looking for innovative, early-stage content companies — publishers and other content creators, aggregators and technology plays — to apply for the chance to present before an audience of potential business partners, customers, investors, acquirers, and other industry influencers at the 3rd annual SIIA Global Information Industry Summit, 9-11 September, in London.

This Summit is produced by the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), the leading global association for the digital content and software industries.

Call for Company details; note the deadline to apply is 27 June and there is no fee to submit your application.

I invite you to encourage relevant companies in your network to apply. Any questions? Please email me – lfschwartz@newstex.com

   I was just chatting with my coworker about this today at Outback steak house. Don’t remember how in the world we got on the topic really, they brought it up. I do remember having a amazing chicken salad with sunflower seeds on it. I digress…
