2012 MPA Digital: Swipe

MPA Digital: Swipe is the world's premier conference for magazine professionals focusing on tablets, e-readers, apps and mobile devices. The 2012 conference is a follow-up to MPA's successful "MPA Digital: E-Reading" events, which ran in 2010 and 2011. The new name of the conference reflects the rapidly changing advances in technology over the past two years as computers, e-readers and smartphones have evolved into sophisticated mobile devices requiring a series of fluid swipes, pinches and taps to fully access the content. The conference is designed to be an invaluable resource for publishers and editors seeking the insights and tools they need to capitalize on the mobile revolution.

"MPA Digital: Swipe" will spotlight the best magazine apps and feature practical advice from seasoned tablet veterans.

"MPA Digital: Swipe" will be followed by the American Society of Magazine Editors' third annual National Magazine Awards for Digital Media - the Digital Ellies - presented during a gala luncheon immediately after the conference. Conference attendees will have the opportunity to purchase tickets for the Digital Ellies at a reduced rate.
