This year's week long series of major digital conferences taking place during Internet Week 2012 in NYC kicks off with The DigiDay Conference for high-level decision makers in publishers, agencies and brands. Taking place on May 14th, 2012, at the W Hotel in New York, the conference tackles key issues such as:

• Second and third screen extensions to TV and digital video
• Brands point of view on the effectiveness and integrity of old media vs new media
• The automation of media and media buying

• Wenda Harris Millard of MediaLink
• David Smith of MediaSmith
• Mario Diez of Quadrant One
• Bob Lord of Razorfish
• Andrew Essex of Drogo5
• Joshua Karpf of PepsiCo
• Russell Wallach of Livenation Network

For catching up on the new opportunities and challenges in the online media and digital marketing space, the DigiDay Conference is a great way to start off this week of learning and gaining insights for practioners to apply over the next 12 months.

The conference also offers an ideal opportunity to start off Internet Week -- esepcially if you go to this set of conferences, talks, displays etc., as an ideal opportunity for networking with peers and thought leaders as well as other practitioners in and out of the various digital spaces. It's a great way to further your career in online media and digital marketing.
