FESPA Livens the Venerable GOA Show

"We presented the American audience with an innovative show formula to deliver a range of great ideas and solutions for their printing businesses, and feel we have succeeded in providing attendees with a unique mix of engaging content," adds Frazer Chesterman, FESPA's managing director of events.

GOA's keynote address, "Inspiring Digital Innovation," was presented by John Bracken, director of digital media at the Knight Foundation. Bracken identified major trends in publishing and journalism, including the impact of smart phones, and differing views of social media. He also reported on the innovative projects that have been funded by the non-profit Knight News Challenge, as well as offered his own insights into what the future holds for media and society.
