Next week I will be attending We Media Miami, a unique and timely conference on connecting people and ideas. Here’s some information from the conference web site
Remarkable things happen when you bring together a diverse group of talented leaders and organizations around the power of media. Collaboration stirs the imagination. Good ideas get real.
We Media connects individuals and organizations from across industries who believe the power of media, communication and human ingenuity should be applied to innovate in business AND to make the world better through media.
Leaders from all sectors, fields and disciplines join enterprising citizens in participatory programs, unscripted dialogue, workshops, demos and networking events aimed at using the power of our media to strengthen communities geographic and virtual.
We Media functions as a marketplace of ideas and actions. It’s a meeting ground for the global We Media Community - an eclectic and ambitious network of media innovators, entrepreneurs, creators, investors, funders, community activists and executives. Together we seek new collaborations, new relationships and new ways of thinking.
We Media itself is an idea: it’s a counterpoint to “The” media. In a world connected by digital information networks and devices, the power to produce and distribute media and communications services is now in everyone’s hands. That includes grass roots groups, bloggers and independent media creators, as well as institutions large and small that share space, time and attention with everyone else in the connected society. A new creative class of technology entrepreneurs, dreamers, inventors, story-tellers and digital media producers is fueling a relentless cycle of innovation in communications.
The conference will have live blogs giving a variety of takes on the proceedings. Check the blog.
