It's hard to believe when we launched the What Teens Want Marketing Conference in 2001, Facebook, MySpace, and YouTube didn't even exist. Over the past eight years, we have witnessed a dramatic evolution in digital communications that has given today's teen generation great opportunities to become quick learners, creative producers, and essential consumers. And they did not disappoint.

Technology has given teens the power to become ambassadors of environmental protection and builders of social networks with endless reach. In weak economic times, will their priorities shift? Will they become an even bigger force? What new digital tools will they add to their social arsenal? In June 2009, at What Teens Want East, we'll gather the research and the expertise to help predict the future of the teen market. Don't miss the conversation—register today.

What Teens Want East is powered by expert thought-leaders from Adweek, Brandweek, Mediaweek, Billboard and The Hollywood Reporter. The 9th annual What Teens Want East Marketing Conference will take place on June 24-25, 2009 in New York City.
