Our “State of Gadget Media” evening mini-event on Apr 21st here in NYC is shaping up well. The event is focused on what the name says: the insanely addictive world of Engadgets, Gizmodos, Wireds, CNETs, and other gadget news/rumor/review sites, and comes on the heels of the iPad coverage din.
Our confirmed speakers so far:
—Scott Ard, Editor-in-Chief, CNET
—Nick Denton, founder, Gawker Media
—Jesus Diaz, Senior Editor, Gizmodo
—Dr. Arnold Kim, Founder & Senior Editor, MacRumors
—Robin Liss, CEO, Reviewed.com
—Peter Rojas, CEO, GDGT
—Joshua Topolsky, Editor-in-Chief, Engadget
The panels will run from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., to be followed by a mixer from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tickets are $100, and the venue, Edelman’s offices in NYC, can only hold 150 people, so register here early. Our thanks to Edelman for hosting the event at their office.
