Digital media/tech conferences permeate the landscape and can overwhelm digital media execs (like me). I could, essentially, attend events 100% -- so, you must pick your events judiciously.
Well, this coming week -- starting today -- is chock full of worthy events. And, my dance card is filled -- my cup overfloweth’.
Today, the excellent inaugural OASIS: The Montgomery Summit kicks off in the heart of Silicon Beach -- Santa Monica, California. It is a VC’s paradise, with well over 100 companies pitching and vying for our attention. And, today’s highlighted speaker is Google’s Eric Schmidt. But, there’s more. For the first time, a significant social impact vibe permeates the event. That’s why Deepak Chopra is a featured speaker tomorrow. Didn’t have enough? Then, get this. One of my favorite bands -- Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros -- plays tonight’s VIP party. I am proud to say that event organizers green-lighted me to break that news several days ago.
So, that’s today and tomorrow. How about Friday? Glad you asked. Friday is the kick-off for the excellent UCLA Entertainment Symposium, at which I will moderate a panel titled “Multi-Channel Networks & Other New Premium Video Players -- Their Impact On (& Opportunity For) Hollywood.” This should be a good one -- my panel will feature Allen DeBevoise (CEO of Machinima), Keyvan Peymani (Head of Digital & Strategy at ICM), Paul Snow (YouTube), and Anna Tran Reyna of Fox Networks).
You would think that that’s enough to end the week, right? Wrong.
Saturday I fly to SXSW -- where I will be until Wednesday morning, March 12 (when they will need to fly me back in a body bag after the continuing barrage of meetings, events and parties). My company -- Manatt Digital Media -- will attend SXSW in full force. Want to schedule a meeting at SXSW? Then reach out to me via LinkedIn.
Just another week ....
