Featured panelist: Adam Gaffin, founder and editor, Universal Hub (@universalhub)

Also joining us for the NENMA Spring Conference on April 30th at the Radisson in Chelmsford, MA will be Adam Gaffin, founder and editor of Universal Hub.

Universal Hub started life as Boston Common - a Weblog that tried to capture the best writing from the hundreds of bloggers in the Boston area. In early 2005, Adam Gaffin and Steve Garfield (a previous NENMA guest) decided to try to extend that, into an alternate news and information resource for the Boston area - one written and edited by the people who read it.

 

Adam was previously a reporter and editor for a high-tech trade publication and before that, a suburban daily. He will be among a jam-packed set of panelists discussing what they’re doing in two key lines of business for local media companies: Hyperlocal & Local Search.

There's still time to register for the NENMA Spring Conference, a 1-day event with two tracks: A sales boot camp led by Mel Taylor; and strategy sessions on the power and potential of hyperlocal and mobile media.

Sponsorships are also available
for businesses wishing to seize an opportunity to speak with and network among a concentration of new media leadership from New England newspaper and other media organizations.
