TESTIMONIALS
This conference was an incredibly valuable investment for me. The
fresh set of speakers addressed many new ways that local media companies
are attacking the rapidly changing local/social space. Getting
introduced to new models and new companies pushing the boundaries really
stimulated my thinking about our own business. Thanks to the Kelsey crew
for yet again putting on a great conference. These events are the best
value for my time and budget. Wouldn’t miss one! —Brian Kraff,
CEO,
Market Hardware
I enjoyed participating in the conference very much. You
attracted a great crowd and I learned something in each of the sessions I
attended. —Anna Zornosa, Executive VP and GM,
Dealix
It was good fun. The subject matter covered was really
interesting. —Dave Alberga, CEO,
The Active Network
I felt the content and presenters across the board shared
invaluable insight and experiences that will benefit all who attended as we
navigate the local marketplace, its consistent evolution and this
unprecedented economic climate. Great Job. —Tony Wills, Chief Revenue
Officer,
Dotmenu
Precisely because of these tough times, “local search” remains
massively interesting. Marketplaces 2009 provided a terrific vantage from
which to assess the full landscape and identify opportunities for further
growth. —Matt Howard, CEO,
SMBLive
I had a great time. I feel like I’ve found my “flock,” having
tangled with so many of the same local directory product, business model,
sales, etc., issues. Now on to apply those insights! —Willem Maas,
Founder and Publisher,
Green Home

organizations and individuals present. Great showing. —Mike Rutz,

I always look forward the Kelsey Marketplaces conference. They
bring together a great bunch of people. My days are always filled with
valuable meetings — both planned and serendipitous. And this year, I was
pleased to find that the event was more intimate and ideal for networking.

Thanks for hosting a wonderful conference last week in L.A. — we
made some great new connections and had a chance to catch up with many of
our existing partners. —Krista Plaisted Campbell,

I've been attending Kelsey Group events for the past five years,
and always found them a great way to reconnect with peers from the industry,
and to be thoughtful about where the local space is headed. —Matthew Berk,
