Local media companies are using their audience, content and brand to open a huge new market through local ticketing. At the Key Executives Mega-Conference, find out how ticketing can generate new money, drive email growth and diversity your brand and company.

During a presentation on the Mega-Conference Solutions Stage in February, Deborah Fellows, president and founder of GeoTix, will share real numbers from local media so attendees can see exactly how ticketing can generate new money, drive email growth and diversify their brand and company.

She says: "Local ticketing is rooted in the local media company's brand and mission and each sale opens up opportunities beyond ticketing with local organizations.

"In addition, local media companies are all looking at products that chase people around the internet, far away from our brands, hoping to score an email address to start a conversation. Local ticketing allows local media to have a successful relationship with a customer, make money doing it and end up with an email address to start a dialogue."

The Mega-Conference will be held Feb. 26-28 in San Diego, Calif.
