What they’ve learned and accomplished can be of significant value to their worldwide partners.

Panel: The changing nature of cross-border business and brands (it’s not just the future; it’s the ‘here and now’)
13:45-14:15
In the past, transcending print brands across borders was constrained by distribution. Brand owners not only required local expertise, but also infrastructure to make cross-border publishing work. The Internet has changed the game, with virtually anyone now able to reach audiences abroad. A panel of experts – in magazine media and in the pureplay environment – discuss what this means for the future of doing business internationally.
Julie Hansen, President, Business Insider, USA; Hans Hamer, Publishing director, Axel Springer Automotive titles, Germany; David Woodley, Managing director, Time Out International, UK; Mike Lovell, Meredith Investor Relations/International, Meredith Corporation USA; Host: John Cabell, founder and CEO, Cue Ball, USA
