It's safe to say that print media has taken a hard hit, and many might argue that in today's landscape ? where technology is king ? the local newspaper, veteran gumshoe, and peddle-pushing delivery boy, might soon be obsolete. Print media could very well be headed for the history books ? or more realistically, the Kindle. After all, if the second largest retail bookstore in the U.S. is forced to close up shop, who knows what the future has in store for the rest of us.

Fortunately, publishers have taken a cue, stepped up their game, and entered into the vast and ever-evolving world of digital media. Sure, marketers can survive in the digital age, but if you're a forward-thinking businessman, why not thrive?

From September 25 -27, the Digital World Expo heads to Las Vegas to debut its annual forum for professional education. Inside the Mirage Events Center, attendees will learn everything from interactive marketing and media development to public relations and digital advertising strategy.
