What is the iBreakfast?

The monthly iBreakfast Club meeting showcases the Digital Media's movers and shakers in the context of the entire technology marketplace. That means the Breakfast Club will feature the people behind breaking news and the technologies about to make a difference.

Attendees also have the opportunity to network with other seasoned players in the New Media Technology industry.

Its Entrepreneur iEvenings with VCs have helped raise over $60 million in compnay value. Their workshops are legendary for inspiring Start-Ups to find their "pivot" point and Executives to establish relationships and reinvent themselves in the Entrepreneurial community.

The iBreakfast is an outgrowth of the national conference series produced by the pioneering TECHmarketing group which introduced the first high tech awards program, THE MAR.COM AWARDS for ADWEEK in 1990's (now the Icon Awards) and CreaTECH, the first interactive/internet advertising conference, and Hollyweb, the convergence conference that ran at NAB and CES.

TECHmarketing is an outgrowth of the group effort of technology marketing journalists and consultants at ADWEEK's Marketing Computers and Advertising Age Creativity. Their roster of speakers are drawn from the breakthrough events and marketing perspectives developed over the years under the leadership of CEO and program director, Alan Brody.

About TECHmarketing

TECHmarketing was founded in 1987 by Alan Brody to create and manage special events for high technology marketers. The company helped create Laptop '88, and the first two Macintosh expo’s in New York. In 1990, it created the Marcom Awards, the first awards program to recognize creativity and effectiveness in high technology advertising, PR and marketing communications.

In 1993 TECHmarketing introduced CreaTECH, the first interactive advertising conference in New York. Sponsored by ADWEEK, this conference introduced hundreds of New York agency and production people to the emerging interactive advertising industry while alerting them to the new kinds of creative challenges ahead.

CreaTECH was brought into the Summer Consumer Electronics Show® as part of its transformation into a consumer technology and interactive multimedia expo. TECHmarketing also introduced the CES® Marcom Awards to recognize excellence as measured by creativity and effectiveness in consumer electronics advertising, PR, marketing communications and interactive advertising.

TECHmarketing created Hollyweb™, a Web/TV integration conference at the National Association of Broadcasters annual conference in Las Vegas. ThiseTV World, the Broadband Convergence Conference and Expo on September 14-17 at the Javits Center in New York is the culmination of all of these events and will feature all the key products and personalities in this emerging new field -- with a special focus on the advertising opportunities of TV-Web integration. In 1999, the 7th Annual mar.com awards will move to Silicon Alley, signalling the prominence of New York -- Capital of the Web™.
