Earlier today I moderated an MCN-focused panel at the 2nd Digital Entertainment World conference in LA. Pretty remarkable "Who's Who" of panelists in the MCN world. From left to right (counter-clockwise -- yours truly (moderator), Amanda Taylor (CEO DanceOn), Reza Izad (CEO Collective Digital Studio), Marvin Scott Jarrett (CEO Popular), Sanjay Sharma (President of All Def Digital), Scott Maddux (VP Gracenote), Roy Burstin (CEO Mitu), and Allen DeBevoise (Chairman Machinima). Full house. Impressive group. Great insights. Here's Deadline's recap, including the unanimous consensus that a few years from now Disney's near $1 billion acquisition of Maker Studos will be viewed as a bargain (just like Google's $1.6 billion buy of YouTube several years back). 
As I ended the panel, I predicted that several of these key players will be acquired in 2015. Check back with me in a few months. Taking bets now .... DEW 2015. It's a wrap.
