The evening also featured a keynote panel discussion, What Does it Take to Succeed in a B2B Media Career?
The panelists were:
- Betsy Bair, content leader and project manager at Penton’s MeetingsNet.
- Kelley Damore, chief community officer of UBM.
- Mark Schlack, ASBPE national president and senior vice-president of editorial for TechTarget.
All have navigated successful careers. Collectively, they have experience in print, online, and in planning conferences and events. At the banquet they talked about:
- how aspiring editors can build a successful career in B2B journalism,
- how the profession continues to change, and
- what some of the emerging career paths of the next decade are.
One thing the panelists agreed on: the New York Times’ internal report on innovation in the newsroom is a must-read. (Others agree, including the Nieman Journalism Lab and Mashable; if you want a quick summary of the 96-page report, see Mashable’s brief on its 6 key points.)
