SEPTEMBER 21-25, 2020 4:00 PM - 4:45 PM
afaqs! Events is thrilled to launch a new, virtual initiative – a series of e-conversations around advertising, marketing and media the entire week and every day at the same time! After the amazing response of the first part of the series - Television Week - an initiative in e-conversations focusing on several compelling aspects of the television business, we're pleased to announce Digipub Week from September 21-25, 2020 every day between 4 - 4:45 pm. So far, over three editions (2017-19), we've explored all major aspects of online publishing - with a little help from the top stakeholders in the business. Making the best of the current situation, this year’s edition will be an online chapter and like almost everything else in 2020, will be special. Over five crisp e-discussions with the senior-most names in the web publishing space, we look forward to exploring subjects that are especially important in a sluggish economy, like revenue streams beyond advertising, the advent of the e-paper, the perils of working from home, and more.
Finally accepting that ad revenue will not pay the bills, publishers are taking tentative steps towards going pay. What are the likely routes?
Session Sponsored By:
The advertising technology, despite its challenges can be sustainable, profitable, and safe. In the absence of advertising, web users may face the option of paying for quality content versus accessing low quality, unreliable content for free, which by all definitions will be a huge step backward. How can we focus on optimizing ad inventory to maximize revenue while maintaining the quality of the site?
With dismal ad rates, some publishers are trying to become a funnel for ecommerce players and drive traffic to them. What are the promises and pitfalls?
The disruption in newspaper distribution led to the rise of the e-paper during the lockdown. Does this format offer better prospects of pay than websites? What privacy and security considerations need to be evaluated to ensure business success?
The demand for local language web content keeps growing. Where are we on supply - and monetisation? To what extent have the obstacles to growth been tackled in the past 12 months?
