The Future of Digital Media January 24, 2008

Recent developments in the digital media industry are forcing the entertainment industry to rethink current business models as the industry evolves. The success of Youtube and iPhone, notwithstanding, does leave out some issues that need to be addressed - particularly in areas of digital copyright and the ownership and the marketability of user generated content. As internet and mobile technology is maturing and evolving, old laws are being rewritten in favor of new laws. Join a panel of digital media experts as they discuss the current state of the industry, including hot button issues such as how big media companies will balance the opportunities presented by digital distribution with the possible cannibalization of existing businesses? Points of discussion to include:

* What is the next big thing in digital media in the next 12 months to 2 years and who will be the winners and losers in the years to come?
* What are the most likely business models for user-generated content?
* Can content created by consumers be the backbone of a viable business model?
* What is the future for ad-supported free distribution of digital content - including music, video and games - online?
* How can traditional media businesses connect with this consumer mindset?
* Life after iphone: What's next in the digitial revolution of music? What standards are likely to emerge?
* What new opportunities exist for marketers to tap into these newly formed digital communities and niches?
* Mobile media : Life after ringtones and music - What next?
