In this issue of JEGI’s Client Briefing Newsletter, JEGI provides highlights from Outsell’s Signature Event, co-produced by JEGI and titled “No Guts, No Glory”.  Held October 4-6 at the magnificent Ritz-Carlton, Powerscourt (outside Dublin, Ireland), this education-oriented event provided over 150 senior information industry leaders an unparalleled opportunity to learn how the industry is successfully executing on business models, strategies, and growth in this difficult economic climate.  JEGI Co-President Tolman Geffs shares his unique perspective on Data & Video: Two Major Trends Driving Digital M&A.  These two online areas in particular – targeting and video – promise to deliver continued innovation, as well as robust M&A activity.  JEGI’s third quarter M&A statistics showed 466 transactions at a total value of $16.4 billion, with a handful of $1+ billion deals, including Adobe’s acquisition of Omniture.  JEGI is proud to have hosted its third Emerging Company Dinner of 2009 on October 8th at the 21 Club in New York City, co-sponsored by Booz & Company and moderated by Gordon Crovitz, Co-Founder, Journalism Online.  Lastly, JEGI highlights its leadership position in M&A among investment banking firms across the media, information, marketing services and technology markets, including the sale of Congressional Quarterly to Roll Call (Economist Group).
