Welcome to the official MediaFinance 2009 website

The third annual MediaFinance conference is taking place on Wednesday 17th June at London’s Renaissance Chancery Court Hotel. Once again, the media industry’s leading decision makers and visionaries will gather to debate the challenges and opportunities we face in 2009.

Over the past year and a half, the industry has witnessed unprecedented change, as plunging advertising revenues and an absence of available credit have forced media companies, both big and small, to drastically cut costs, sell non-core assets and seek alternative sources of income.

MediaFinance 2009, like our sector-leading magazine, will examine where the opportunities can be found in this downturn and address the key questions facing the sector.

The conference will deliver insight from industry leaders, present challenging panels addressing the sector’s most significant and controversial questions and offer the opportunity to meet with colleagues, clients and competitors.

Now, more than ever, is a critical time to network with the companies, dealmakers and lenders with the power to shape the future of media. We look forward to welcoming you as a sponsor and delegate at MediaFinance 2009.

Kind regards,

Ed Ansell
