]]> The Revolution Will Be Televised tag:www.monacomediaforum.org,2009://1.9 2009-06-22T13:37:24Z 2009-06-23T16:13:11Z Spencer Reiss http://www.monacomediaforum.org/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&blog_id=1&id=5  With the bulk of the world's entertainment and marketing dollars at stake. Les jeux sont faits!

Led by an all-new (well almost) stellar list of co-chairs--see the full list at left--MMF 2009 will zero in on the collision of the broadband-fueled Internet and the evolving medium formerly known as television. We'll make excursions onto other nearby battle grounds: games as reality, print springs eternal, news meets communications, the death of the click. We'll find new business models emerging from relentless change. Leaving plenty of time--we promise!--for MMF's trademark deep talk, global connections and cross-platform deal-making.

If you've just got your invitation, welcome back--follow the instructions in the e-mail to secure your place for November. And don't believe everything you read about deadlines--space at MMF is always limited, so the sooner you get your name in play the better.

If not--and you're a founder, CEO or head of a major business unit, doing interesting work in any part of the ever-expanding mediasphere--drop a line to contact@monacomediaforum.org and tell us why you should be part of the most interesting global talking shop in media today. No promises, but we're always looking to expand the conversation.

Salut!

The goal is high-def conversation that cuts through and across all the usual industry boundaries--content, distribution, technology, marketing & finance.]]> If you've already received a "Save the Date" email, welcome back--formal invitations will be going out in June.

Otherwise, if you're a founder, CEO or head of a major business unit, feel free to request an invitation--e-mail  contact@monacomediaforum.org and tell us why. No promises, but we're always scouting for fresh faces, smart voices and people opening new media frontiers.

Speaking of voices, we're already on the prowl for things to hear and talk about in November. If you or your company have something new or important to say, let us know about it program@monacomediaforum.org.

Salut!  And stay tuned.

Take your pick: an epic, media-saturated US election barely a week before, financial markets melting down and big swathes of the media landscape in earthquake mode. In other words, the perfect time to get together the best, brightest and most creative minds in the mediasphere to start looking for opportunities down the road ahead 


]]>
In the meantime you can check the links below for highlights from November, including YouTube's special Monaco Media Forum Channel.  Thanks one more time to all our terrific 2008 sponsors--Google, Accel Partners, Vivendi, Lenovo. Thanks particularly to Accel's Joe Schoendorf and his crack team of Napa sommeliers for pulling off one of the best American invasions since D-Day. Special props to the MySpace London team, for pulling out the stops with an eye-popping Cote d'Azurean after party at Monte Carlo's Moods music bar. And above all, thanks to HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, without whose enthusiastic support MMF simply would not happen.
 
Once more, we're locked in for MMF 2009, 11-13 November, same great location. Save those dates if you're already on our list, or drop us a line if you think you should be. Fire away also with ideas about people we should be hearing from or things you think we should be talking about in November--program@monacomediaforum.org. Meantime, watch this space.
