I've been watching Penton since my times at Vogel Media Group and it is my firm belief they have some valuable properties, they could and should make much more out of it in USA and International.
But today I extract the share of categories by sector, so you can see and study how successful they are running in the right direction
Breakdown total turnover
69,6 % from Publishing / Print
20,9 % from Trade shows / Conferences
9,5 % from Online media
If you check, you will see that e.g. Webinar's make a fast growing share of income, but other areas are still underdeveloped or not even existent.
