This October, pioneers at the forefront of change in cinema, video, games, media and technology are coming together to share ideas, insights, and innovations. Our focus is on new tools, new distribution channels, and new rules. The format of the gathering will be experimental: rather than a traditional conference, short talks and demos, "fireside chats," and roundtables will spark a dynamic series of overlapping conversations. All this will happen at UC Berkeley's renowned Pacific Film Archive theater over two days this October. It's a conversation that will bring together media-makers and technologists to share experiences, discuss, debate, and map out the future together. Some of the topics we'll touch on, and the people who'll lead the conversation, are listed here. But we also want to invite you to suggest other topics ... ones that you want to see added or address yourself. Just added to the speaker list: Legendary independent film producer Ted Hope and Dean Valentine, CEO of Comedy.com, former CEO of UPN and President of Walt Disney Television. And: Event organizers Tiffany Shlain and Scott Kirsner talk about where The Conversation might go: (Click play.) We hope you'll join us later this month ...
