The Scripps College of Communication invites business people, scholars, and interested students to a conference on the challenges and opportunities for firms operating in fast-moving media markets.

Richard A. Boehne, president and chief executive officer of The E.W. Scripps Company, will be the keynote speaker for Creating the Future: Managing Media in the Digital Age. He will be joined by top executives from media firms in Ohio and West Virginia. Leading scholars from four universities will also participate in the day-long discussion about how media firms are responding to the proliferation of channels for delivering media content.

The conference is a step toward the creation of a Scripps College program that teaches entrepreneurship, strategic thinking and business problem solving. The college was recently named a Center of Excellence by the University System of Ohio, a designation that allows us to create state-wide programs supporting the development of communication industries.

The Sept. 7 conference on the Athens campus of Ohio University will encourage discussions between the invited speakers and members of the audience. Those discussions will help us design a program to educate the next generation of media business leaders.

This website includes the conference program, registration (which is required), and directions to the conference. There is also information about hotel accommodations if you plan to stay overnight

We look forward to welcoming you to this special Scripps College event. If you have any questions, please contact:
