Trade publishers are starting to see the bottom of a marked decline in their print and events businesses, according to the latest figures from American Business Media. In the first quarter of this year, ABM found that print revenues had declined only 6.4% to $1.8 billion. That compares well to -26.1% negative growth the industry suffered in the print market during the same period last year. On the events side, ABM also reports that the drop of 8.4% in revenues in Q1 2010 to $2.2 billion was substantially better than the -19.7% drop of Q1 2009. On a month-by-month basis, revenue figures improved in the first quarter as well, indicating a positive trajectory. Print revenue in March 2010 was down only 3.1% compared to March 2009. 

The digital side of the b2b business grew by 7.5% in Q1 2010.
