Hello from >Play!
Hello blog readers! Let me introduce myself. I’m Gary, one of the co-chairs of this year’s >Play Digital Media Conference. Planning for the 2008 conference is in full swing and we have lots of exciting things in the works.
The conference will take place on November 15, 2008. Our theme is Disruption: Changes in Today’s Media Economy. I’m excited to have a team of motivated, enthusiastic and passionate people who care about sports, entertainment, gadgets, innovations and everything under the sun as it relates to digital media and technology.
In addition to organizing the conference, I got my hands full with my summer internship at Nike. As a marketing intern for the Digital Content & Media department, I get the chance to carry out a promotional campaign, perform industry research, and funny enough, help organize another conference! But that’s not all. Every marketing intern participates in a marketing case competition where we are put into teams that will present recommendations on a challenge that Nike is facing. Our group is currently working hard to conduct consumer research. There’s a lot of hard work ahead, but I’m having fun doing it. Plus, you can’t help but take pleasure in all the green scenery Oregon has to offer. As a SoCal native, this is unfamiliar to me so I am soaking up every moment.
So that’s my little tidbit. Stay tuned for upcoming announcements!
I look forward to what you have to say regarding disruptions in the media economy. Any clues as to what we can expect to hear from you?
Gary,
This >play conference sounds awesome! Is there a mailing list people can join to get updates on the conference and perhaps advance notice for ticket sales?
