New Media-Looking Forward to 2009: Will Hard Times Promote Innovation December 16, 2008

This event will be the first time that GABA Silicon Valley uses a TV Studio with a live audience. The televised panel of media experts, will debate the question: "Will the foreseen difficult economic times of 2009, promote or inhibit innovation?" Today, as much as ever, it is crucial for companies to adapt new media strategies. Organizations are experiencing challenges as free content proliferates, and the economy declines. If innovation prevails over economics, will the source be finance, advertising, social media or production, and what will the innovation resemble?
