Shelly is our presenter; our moderator is Bill Sobel:

Bill Sobel, the Principal of SobelMedia and NY:MIEG/The New York Media Information Exchange Group, has been described as a media powerhouse and a master connector. According to Wendy Marx of Fastcompany.com “Sobel knows practically everyone who matters in the media and entertainment space. Recognizing that his ’skill set is who I know’, Sobel since the early 1990s has helped technology companies get into the media and entertainment space by tapping into his vast network.”

Sobel uses his massive network as a tool to both build his popular NY:MIEG events, which draw 150-200 per month and to connect others in the media and technology space. In two short years since it’s launch, Bill Sobel has grown NY:MIEG from a few hundred members to an active and vibrant community of over 3000 members of major media in New York, Los Angeles and around the world.
