Heading to the Future of Media Summit
Originally posted at: http://www.acidlabs.org/2008/07/04/heading-to-the-future-of-media-summit/
I’m heading up to Sydney on 14 July to attend the next day’s all day Future of Media Summit at Luna Park.
Run by Ross Dawson’s Future Exploration Network, the summit will explore issues around the ongoing change in the media landscape.
It should be a great event, running parallel with a matched event in the US and with a wide range of really interesting old and new media types.
The site claims it will be very participatory, so I figure it’ll have strong thematic and interactive links to PubCamp, but I’m guessing that the harsh (but entirely fair) treatment of the ivory tower dwelling old media types may not happen quite so vigorously. I hope it does.
Personally, I think the backchannel will run hot, and people like Mark Pesce and Chris Saad will mess with the heads of the old media. Fingers crossed.
