Futures of Entertainment Conference

Category: Articles of Interest — David J Edery @ 2:02 am

A quick announcement, on behalf of MIT (reprinted from Henry’s blog):

The Comparative Media Studies Program is proud to announce an exciting forthcoming conference, The Futures of Entertainment, to be held at MIT on Nov. 17 and 18. The event is designed to bring together leading thinkers from across the entertainment industry to speak about core issues around media convergence, transmedia storytelling, user-generated content, and participatory culture. Speakers confirmed so far include The Long Tail’s Chris Anderson, Flickr’s Caterina Fake, DC Comic’s Paul Levitz, Warner Brother’s Diane Nelson, Big Spaceship’s Michael Lebowitz, social networking researcher Danah Boyd, television scholar Jason Mittell, and many others, including representatives from MTV, Cartoon Network, Bioware, and other leading companies in this space. The event is free and open to the public but we ask that you preregister since seating will be limited. The event is being hosted by the Convergence Culture Consortium.
