CEO Ripp is looking to squeeze all he can out of live events, new live events division to be announced?
Time Inc CEO Joe Ripp is a man that knows business. But he's still trying to figure out the business he now sits atop in an era he once played down as a fad or flash in the pan. Mr. Ripp once said that he recognizes that digital is a big part of Time Inc's growth. Now he's adding conferences to that key list and rightfully so. Conferences are a major part of many businesses on the b2b and consumer side. These gatherings open up the flood gates for Time Inc to push new products to attendees who are paying almost $10k a head to attend events like the Fortune Summit.
