Future of Media Summit Blog
Welcome to the Future of Media Summit participant blog!
The Future of Media Summit participant blog is now launched. This will be a forum for speakers, partners, and attendees at the Future of Media Summit 2007 to discuss the issues covered at the Summit before, during, and after the event. When you register for the event you will be given a login and instructions to post on this blog (for those who have already registered you will receive your login shortly).
Last year we only launched the participant blog for the Future of Media Summit 2006 at the time when the actual event kicked off, so we garnered a range of comments during the event itself, then a very healthy and extremely interesting discussion between the event participants in the month after the event.
Last year the blog also provided a forum to capture the discussions of the audience panel sessions. As at all events we organize, we ran panel discussions between all conference attendees, where everyone chose the topic they wanted to discuss, with themes ranging across “New business models: how to monetize content”, “What advertisers want today”, “Online social networks and media”, “The drivers of mobile content”, “User Generated Content”, "Bloggers. Are they newsmakers, newsfinders, opinion shapers or annotators"?, and many others. Some great insights came from many of the audience panels.
This year we’d like to build an conversation beginning before the event, and extending far beyond, so we will continue with the same Future of Media Summit blog for Summits in subsequent years, rather than create a new blog each year.
Please participate! We will be sharing content and insights from the speakers and many other leading thinkers on the future of media. We expect all of the participants at the Summit in both the US and Australia to have great perspectives to share, so want to make this an open forum. If for some reason, such as not being in Sydney or San Francisco at the time of the event, you can’t attend the live event but want to participate in the blog, please email us at fen [AT] futureexploration [DOT] net and we’ll provide you with a login. I look forward to your contributions!
