Hello all, I'm writing on behalf of the Open Video Alliance, in preparation for our Open Video Conference in New York City, October 1-2. OVC is a high- profile gathering of thought leaders in business, academia, technology, and non-profits to explore the future of the online video medium. This year's OVC is particularly important, given new technology developments. If you are interested in the critical debates around online video, participatory culture, and the mass media generally, you may be interested in participating. Details from last year's event are available at http://openvideoalliance.org/open-video-conference/speakers09/ . If you have an idea for a panel, workshop, or any other programming, please take the time to suggest it at: http://openvideoconference.org/proposals We will offer travel funding to a number of participants. The deadline to propose a session is June 7th. Please feel free to pass the message along to friends are colleagues who are interested in online video and the open web. Best wishes, Ben Moskowitz General coordinator, Open Video Alliance http://openvideoalliance.org Contact: (714) 420-6471
