A lot has been said about traditional vs. new media but it’s really not a battle with an either/or outcome. Fun fodder for an Open Room session over finger food, drinks and tweets where journalists and bloggers unite! Happening Thursday, 25 June from 7-9pm (venue TBC).

Thomas Crampton, who heads Digital Influence in Asia-Pacific, will be co-hosting the conversation with ex-journalist, Arti Mulchand. Tom recently video-blogged about his transition from journalism to digital strategy.

RSVPs closed.
