Media technology commentators Frédéric Filloux and Peter Kafka are the speakers at INMA Euope’s ‘Transformation of News Summit’ in Cambridge, UK, in December.

The two day event (December 2-3) aims to focus on commercial opportunities of re-imagining content and the opportunities of the emerging ‘tablet age’.

The two distinct yet closely related subjects are:

• Extracting New Value from Content – identifying and benchmarking new content models that generate new revenue from consumers; and

• A follow-up from the Oxford Tablet Summit – ‘Tablets, a Second Life for Newspapers’, a practical case-based exploration of how tablets can represent a second life for newspapers. This day is arranged in cooperation with Innovation Media Consulting Group and under the auspices of the Nieman Foundation for Journalism.

Filloux is a freelance writer and media consultant for French and other companies, and was until recently an editor for the international division of the Norwegian media group Schibsted. He worked for a year with Paris advertising group BDDP agency (now TBWA), and is co-author of the ‘Monday Note’ blog.

Kafka has been covering media and technology since 1997, when he joined the staff of Forbes magazine. He is senior editor at All Things Digital, the online extension of the "D: All Things Digital" conference (part of WSJ Digital Network). Most recently, he has been managing editor of the tech and media website, Silicon Alley Insider.
