Mediabistro.com Announces Mediabistro Circus Conference, May 20, 2010, in New York

The ever-dynamic Mediabistro Circus returns as a forum for exchanging ideas with foremost thought leaders. This year, the Mediabistro Circus focuses on women as visionary leaders who have challenged traditional thinking at a time of great economic upheaval.

Some have rewritten conventional rules as they lead organizations in media and technology. Others have surmounted huge challenges as they built startups into viable businesses. All have uncovered new ideas about growth, change, and innovation. "The Mediabistro Circus is about bringing the community together to learn from media gurus, get inspired, make contacts, and have some fun," says mediabistro.com Director Carmen Scheidel. "This year, we're excited to feature women who we admire for challenging traditional thinking and forging new paths in a time of great economic upheaval."

The vendor area will be a marketplace for organizations that offer products and services for all aspects of the media world. Mediabistro Circus will also provide the critical element that can only be found at a live event -- face-to-face conversations that lead to business development and partnership opportunities.
