The 30A Company’s Mike and Angela Ragsdale recently traveled to Moscow, Russia, after Mike was invited to speak at the 3D Journalism conference – Russia’s largest media forum – about “the power of good news.” The goal of the two-day conference was to help Russian journalists, media executives and hyperlocal entrepreneurs grow their brands and revenue streams. Over 1,000 attendees participated in the forum, with hundreds of thousands of professionals and students watching live broadcasts online. Here are just a few photos and videos from 30A’s extraordinary visit to Moscow.
