Watch (or rewatch) everything from Prince Albert's opening video to this instant classic--co-chairs Arianna Huffington and Mathias Döpfner going head-to-head:
The big chips are finally down: the Net takes on TV. On living room walls and street corners. Via plasma screens, lapbooks, tele-puters and hi-def handsets. Pulled and pushed, time shifted, leaned forward and leaning back.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.
Yes indeed, we're on: MMF4, November 11-13 2009. Back once again at the unsurpassable Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel. Back with the best & brightest of mediasphere, topped by our trademark list of stellar co-chairs (see left). Two days of sparkling talk, eye-popping demos and peerless networking. Plus a couple of amazing evenings overlooking the Med.
MMF is an invitation-only gathering of the global media tribe, made possible by the Monaco government 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.
For sheer, perfect topicality, MMF 2008 is going to be seriously hard to beat. 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
Now in its fourth year, MMF brings together leaders of new and old media for two and a half days of high-level discussions about the future of online, broadcast and print communications. Hosted by HSH Prince Albert II, the invitation-only event focuses on emerging opportunities in technology, distribution and content, along with related developments in marketing and finance.
