Top executives from presenting companies will discuss how their businesses are performing in this challenging economic period and what lies ahead for the year to come. There will also be stimulating panels at the conference, including the advertising panel where 2010 forecasts will be disclosed and which will be closely monitored by industry-participants." | |||
