We Media Conference in Miami
The third annual WeMedia conference will be held in South Florida next year, at the University of Miami from February 8-9, 2007.
The program (pdf) is built around two themes:
* Community: How can media and communications in a multitude of forms, produced or influenced by an ever-expanding multitude of sources, serve and strengthen the communities where people live?
* Investment: In a shifting communications marketplace, how will investors, public and private funders or new formulations of social entrepreneurship pay for and sustain the civic enterprises of news and information?
There will also be a consumer-generated VideoFest running concurrently to We Media, but considered an essential part of the conference experience. The most recent confirmations include monster.com founder Jeff Taylor, Weblogs founder Jason Calacanis and craigslist founder Craig Newmark.
Ifocos.org has kindly extended a few fellowship seats to those connected with Refresh Miami and you can apply for one here by November 13th, 2006.
