(Prudent Press Agency)--- ad:tech expositions, LLC (www.ad-tech.com), the leading conferences and exhibitions organizer for the global marketing community, announced plans today to postpone its 2010 ad:tech Chicago event. Citing a new strategic vision across all of its global events, ad:tech will focus its North American efforts on its two thriving coastal events: ad:tech San Francisco and ad:tech New York.

“The decision was difficult,” said Susan MacDermid, SVP of dmg world media, the parent company of ad:tech expositions. “But we’re seeing a variety of signs that the industry prefers fewer, larger events. We have always delivered the best in-person venues for doing business, and exhibitors and attendees are favoring the larger coastal ad:techs for sourcing new business solutions. We will announce whether we will return to Chicago in 2011 at the close of 2010.”

ad:tech will incorporate topics traditionally discussed at ad:tech Chicago into the ad:tech San Francisco and New York events. Additionally, participants will benefit from the expanded conference agendas, increased networking opportunities, access to substantially more technologies and vendor services, and greater audiences at these larger events.

ad:tech Chicago has long since been a favorite for the event producer and the mid-western region. Consistent support from regional powerhouses, such as Leo Burnett and Razorfish, and associations, including CIMA and ANA, helped sustain the ad:tech Chicago event in recent years. ad:tech would like to thank the many loyal clients, attendees, media and association partners, speakers and advisory board members who supported the event.

ad:tech’s next North American event, ad:tech San Francisco, will be held April 19 – 21, 2010 at Moscone Center North. Event details can be found at www.ad-tech.com/sf
