"Meighan is an energetic leader with a record of accomplishment," said Dick Blouin, president, 1105 Events. "She has an understanding of the Microsoft world, the developer market and how events work in this area—an unusual and very attractive combination of skills. We are delighted to have Meighan leading the 1105 Enterprise Computing Group event team."

Berberich, a seasoned marketing and media executive, returns to 1105 Media from Microsoft Corp. While at Microsoft she led teams in the development and execution of marketing strategies to drive reach and revenue for Microsoft's training and certification products. Prior to Microsoft, Berberich served as the marketing director—and later, as the general manager—of the Business Technologies Group at 1105 Media. During her six-year tenure Berberich contributed to the dramatic growth of the group's portfolio and profitability, launching more than a dozen products including online and off-line events, Web sites, e-newsletters and research programs.

Berberich began her career in marketing and media at Miller Freeman. She has also held marketing management roles at Texas Instruments Inc. and Infineon Technologies AG in the United States and Europe.

"I'm thrilled to be returning to 1105 Media as a member of the events team," said Berberich. "The 1105 Enterprise Computing Group features a solid portfolio of high-quality, market-leading events with tremendous growth potential. I look forward to working with the team to evolve and expand this portfolio, ensuring we continue to deliver a great experience and ongoing value to the communities we serve."

"Welcoming Meighan back to 1105 Media after working with her for so many years has been just terrific. Our current line up of events, as well our new offerings in the virtualization market, will no doubt benefit by having Meighan at the helm," commented 1105 Enterprise Computing Group President Henry Allain.
