Featured panelist: Ben Saren, CEO, CitySquares

Joining us for the NENMA Spring Conference on April 30th at the Radisson in Chelmsford, MA will be Ben Saren, CEO of CitySquares.

Ben is a technology veteran with more than 12 years of industry-leading experience in building privately held organizations. Ben's entrepreneurial experience includes founding Atomic Enterprises, an IT Consulting Firm, specializing in technology and new media consulting as well software and web development. He has served in roles including CTO, project manager, and sales engineer, among others, at start-ups such as Delphi Forums, Prospero Technologies, and at multinationals such as Bell Atlantic, Digital Equipment Corporation, GE Capital, RSA, and Parametric Technologies Corporation.

CitySquares was founded in 2005 based on the simple premise that finding local, neighborhood businesses online is really hard and very frustrating. Furthermore, small businesses are being challenged every day to keep up with the Jones’.

Ben 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.
