American Magazine Conference Canceled

American Magazine Conference Canceled

Citing the challenging economic climate, Magazine Publishers of America will cancel its annual confab, the American Magazine Conference, scheduled to take place in Boca Raton, Fla., in October.

The magazine industry's lobbying organization will replace the AMC with an event in New York focused on innovation. The date for that event has not been set.

The announcement to cancel the '09 event came shortly after Hachette Filipacchi Media pulled out of MPA, along with American Media Inc. and New York magazine, as the industry faces a punishing advertising recession.
