FT Launches Networking Website for Senior Executives

The Financial Times is to launch a social networking service for media and technology executives.

The FT Media and Technology Executive Membership Forum is being launched with the aim of enabling senior executives to “maintain contact with peers and luminaries operating within the digital, new media, mobile and telecoms sectors”.

Forum members will receive complimentary passes for any conference from the FT’s Global Conferences and Events portfolio, access all FT conferences’ speaker presentations and podcasts, access to face-to-face members’ networking events and a subscription to FT.com.

Jayne Van Hoen, global conference director, Financial Times said: “Busy executives in the media and technology industries are increasingly networking, communicating and connecting online and the launch of the FT’s Telecoms Media and Technology Executive Forum provides a highly targeted network where executives from these fast-moving industries can connect and share their knowledge.

“Our readers rely on the FT‘s quality of insight and reporting and the new forum will enable them to interact and use that information more effectively with their peers.”

The FT will be launching more forums, with groups for the luxury goods and property sectors to follow later this year.
