Au Revoir!

A big "Merci!" to all involved for helping make MMF 2011 the best, brightest & most provocative yet. The Internet collides with the medium formerly known as television--talk about good timing.

And special thanks to our generous partners: Orange, Ericsson, DST Global, Google, Microsoft, Deutsche Telekom and Yahoo!.

Plus 400 of the mediasphere's best and brightest, from both sides of the Atlantic and every corner of content, technology, marketing, advertizing & finance (a new Monaco record, by the way). You should have been there.

But even better news: courtesy our good friends at Google, all three days of MMF 2011's firesides, roundtables & solo talks are permanently ensconced on our very own Monaco Media Forum YouTube Channel--there's a player embedded below for your viewing pleasure. For extra points, head over to Beet.tv & search on "Monaco" to see Andy Plesser's always pointed takeaways.

Meanwhile we'll also take one last chance to thank all our great underwriters, partners & co-chairs--the lists at left & right speak for themselves. And beyond the call of duty, our formidable host, HSH Prince Albert. Three cheers!

Last but not least, we've posted below a complete list of MMF 2011 speakers--for breadth, depth and sheer smarts, we're hard pressed to think of any event anywhere that comes close. If you're interested in joining us next November, write & tell us why -- contact@monacomediaforum.org.

This Just In...

PARIS (October 3, 2011) - Monaco Mediax the nonprofit, event planning arm of the Principality of Monaco and PublicisLive, the Geneva-based, event production group, today announce the sixth edition of the Monaco Media Forum (MMF) to be held in the Principality of Monaco from Wednesday, November 9 to Friday, November 11, 2011.

Hosted by HSH Prince Albert II, MMF 2011 will bring together close to 400 leaders of new and traditional media for two-and-a-half days of high-level discussion about the future of online, broadcast and print communications. This year's focus will be "Screen Wars," a conversation about television and its ongoing collision with the Internet and new media.

HSH Prince Albert II states, "The annual Monaco Media Forum combines the highest-profile players, biggest brands and most far-reaching--and sometimes controversial--topics, to move forward the dialogue about the 'mediascape' in the global context."

As always, MMF participants are a Who's Who of individuals and companies that are dominating the ever-changing, global media landscape. The Forum's 2011 co-chairs include:

Chris Albrecht, President & CEO, Starz
Nikesh Arora, Chief Business Officer, Google
Frank Holland, Corporate Vice President of Advertising & Online Business, Microsoft
Phil Kent, Chairman & CEO, Turner Broadcasting System
Maurice Lévy, Chairman & CEO, Publicis Groupe
Yuri Milner, CEO & Managing Partner, DST Global
Stéphane Richard, Chairman & CEO, Orange/France Telecom
Hans Vestberg, President & CEO, Ericsson

Other confirmed speakers include Twitter CEO Dick Costolo, Vevo CEO Rio Caraeff, Akamai President David Kenny, Google's Marissa Mayer, Joanna Shields of Facebook and dozens more from both sides of the Atlantic.

John Rossant, Chairman of PublicisLive, says, "Each year, top executives from the world's most progressive and sophisticated organizations congregate in Monaco to discuss the most relevant topics facing the rapidly evolving media universe. This year's event will be the best and most well-attended in our history."

Screen Wars

Who wins the fight for a billion living rooms? The future of the medium formerly known as television is MMF 2011's headline theme. Converging distribution platforms. Emerging new content. Not to mention socialized audiences, mobilized eyeballs & targeted ads.

Plus there's more! Cloud mechanics. Gaming über alles. Brave new ecosystems--whither a multi-polar digital world? Privacy's minefield. And the new sciences of real-time markets, diluvian data and pinpoint engagement.

Mark the dates: 9-11 November, back again for our sixth straight year at the unsurpassable Monte-Carlo Bay. The best and the brightest, from both sides of the Atlantic. Non-stop conversation. Real deals. Even better parties. And the world's favorite principality.

Invitations go out at the end of June. Watch your inbox.

Thank you!

Mesdames et Messieurs, les jeux sont faits.

We just wanted to say "Merci!" to all 395 of you for your participation in the Monaco Media Forum 2010.  MMF's secret strength is community--the best and brightest people working in every corner of media around the world today. Thanks to all of you for helping make this the best MMF yet.

We're keen as ever to get your thoughts about ways to make the MMF experience even better. What went right & what went wrong. Who hit & who missed. What we should have talked about but didn't. And what ideas for 2011 to start thinking about now.

As always, we're also on the lookout for new people to invite, both for on-stage & off. Friends, colleagues and companies who you think belong at MMF next November--tell us who. No guarantees, but we promise to check them out.

Last but not least, just a reminder that you can check YouTube's official Monaco Media Forum Channel for all this year's action here.

That's it for now--looking forward to seeing you again next November!

The Monaco Media Forum Team

Monaco Media Forum 2010: Co-Chairs and Theme Announced for Europe's Most Prestigious Media Get-together

Mobile technology "forcing everyone to reset business models"

Paris--22 September, 2010--PublicisLive, which specializes in organizing international conferences, and Monaco Mediax, which organizes world-renowned events for the Principality of Monaco, today jointly announced co-chairs and themes for the prestigious 2010 Monaco Media Forum. The event is chaired by HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco.

The fifth annual MMF, the most influential and high-powered event in Europe on the future of media, will focus on mobile media and technologies when it takes place November 10-12.
The strictly invitation-only Monaco Media Forum gathers approximately 300 global leaders in traditional and new media for two-and-a-half days of high-level discussions about the future of online, broadcast and print communications. The vast majority of participants are founders, chairs, CEOs and heads of major business units. Half are from Europe, a third from North America, and the remaining third from Asia and the Middle East.

The co-chairs of MMF 2010 are:
  • Darren Huston, CVP, Consumer & Online, Microsoft
  • Yuri Milner, CEO and founding partner, Digital Sky Technologies
  • James Murdoch, chairman and CEO, Europe and Asia, News Corp
  • Josh Silverman, CEO, Skype
  • Hans Vestberg, president and CEO, Ericsson
MMF 2010 is underwritten by the Principality of Monaco and supported by Orange, Ericsson, Google, Microsoft,  Booz & Co., and Publicis Groupe.
"The mobile theme of MMF 2010 is perfectly timed, as it sets the stage for the next decade. We predict there will be 50 billion connected devices by 2020--including not only smart phones but also tablets and devices not even imagined yet--and now is the time to discuss how we together shape the future," Mr. Vestberg said. "The Monaco Media Forum is the natural place for this, as it gathers the entire eco-system needed to collaborate and develop the new connected world."

Following on Mr. Vestberg's theme of collaboration, Stéphane Richard, CEO of Orange/France Telecom, said: "We're pleased to support this new edition of the Monaco Media Forum, where the most innovative technology and media companies gather together.  Indeed, Orange has numerous strategic partnerships with key media players and technology providers, many of which will join us at the forum. After all, our goal is to provide our customers the best content and telco services available, and to help them to get the most from their digital life."

"We are thrilled to have such an influential team of people working with us on this fifth edition of the Monaco Media Forum," said John Rossant, executive chairman of Publicis Live. "The issues at MMF 2010 could not be more important: billions of media-friendly computers in people's hands change everything. Mobile is forcing everyone to reset their business models."

Said David Tomatis, CEO of Monaco Mediax: "The Principality is honoured to host such a prestigious event gathering an incredible line-up of eminent individuals who have the influence and power to shape tomorrow's media industry. The issues addressed here affect myriad industries, not to mention the billions of people who create, download and share content. We're looking forward to thought-provoking debate and discussion."

MOBILIZATION!

Aux apps, Netoyens! 

So much for the end of media history--we're on the road again. Merci Monsieur Jobs for those magic little slabs of glass and plastic. Thanks also for globe-girdling data clouds, raining down non-stop music and video streams. Pile on gorgeously specialized, free-floating software--suddenly the all-purpose World Wide Web is the ancien régime. Or anyway, yesterday's news. Aux apps, media machers! You have nothing to lose but your business models.

MMF 2010--special fifth-anniversary edition!--takes on the great unleashing. The bedrock Web isn't dead. Neither are its money-making offspring: search, targeted ads, ever-better marketing ROI, even the hoary old point-and-click PC. (OMG--a mouse!) But cloud-connected supercomputers in a billion pockets--and nicely socialized!--promise something wholly new under the media sun.

What will that be? Who commands? Who (yes) wins, and who loses? With luck--and some of the world's smartest, most influential media thinkers & doers--those are questions we'll be answering in Monte Carlo in November. From distinguished co-chairs (see the list at left) to screaming edge innovators, MMF is the one place where all the pieces of the future come together. Hope to see you there.

--Spencer Reiss, MMF 2010 Program Director

Save the Dates!

Yes, we're on: 10-12 November 2010. And we're pulling out all the stops for our fabulous fifth anniversary. Back once again at the unsurpassable Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort. Back with the best & brightest of the global mediasphere. Two days of sparkling talk, eye-popping demos and peerless networking. Plus a couple of amazing evenings overlooking the Mediterranean.

MMF is an invitation-only gathering of the global media tribe, made possible by the Government of Monaco  and forward-thinking companies leading the digital transformation. 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, drop a line to program@monacomediaforum.org.

Meanwhile, enjoy the revolution! And stay tuned.

Save the Dates!
