Review of Future of Media Summit

Nicole Khan who attended the San Francisco side of the event offers some reflections on the Summit on her blog. The summary of her thoughts are below - check out the original post for specific reflections on what speakers had to offer at the event:

My overall thought on the event? I think it was well done! I liked the format, I can see that working again in the future, in a variety of contexts. I had hoped that more people would have added stuff to the event blog beforehand, oh well… and the framework and report (PDF) which were released before the event were helpful in developing pre-panel ideas. The collaboration was cool – I saw a definite difference in perspective (not goals or ideas) of the media world and the topics under daily discussion between Sydney and SF. This helped broadened the panel discussion and hopefully helped to close the gap between U.S. and Australian perspectives on the topic.

In the future I hope to see more collaboration, more exchanging of ideas in other countries, in ad hoc formats like videoconferences.

We are definitely considering this as a starting point. Future Exploration Network will certainly do more multi-location events, and we hope others will too.
