Announcement: Annenberg conference on the Hyperlinked Society, June 9, 2006
Hi, My name is Lokman Tsui, a doctoral student at the Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania. I am currently busy with helping Professor Joe Turow organize a conference called "The Hyperlinked Society: Questioning Connections in the Digital Age." It will take place at the University of Pennsylvania on Friday June 9, 2006. The organizers can support the lodging and partially subsidize the travel of many of the attendees, though space is limited. You can register on the website. The website of the conference: http://www.asc.upenn.edu/hyperlinked Feel free to email me any questions about the conference. Best, Lokman -- The Annenberg Public Policy Center is proud to announce a multidisciplinary conference: The Hyperlinked Society: Questioning Connections in the Digital Age The conference will be held on Friday, June 9, 2006 at the Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania, 8:00am-5:15 pm. We will fully subsidize the meals and lodging (June 8 and June 9, if needed), and partially subsidize the travel, of those whom we can accommodate at the conference. Space is limited, so if you want to participate, please apply now. If you would like to come to the conference, please visit the conference website (http://www.asc.upenn.edu/hyperlinked) and register. As the website states, the conference aims to "bring international experts ... to explore the political, economic and social dimensions of linking and its consequences for sharing ideas in the world of digital media." We're defining linking quite broadly to include, for example, tags, API mashups, and RSS feeds. Moreover, we have created the meeting with the awareness that media convergence has led to increased instant linking among desktop computers, cell phones, PDAs, MP3 players, digital video recorders, and even billboards. As you can see from the conference program (http://www.asc.upenn.edu/hyperlinked/Program.htm) the panelists dealing with the issues related to such developments include renowned news, entertainment and marketing executives, information architects, bloggers, cartographers, audience analysts, and communication researchers. Our goal is to make every attendee an integral part of every discussion, and indications so far are that the entire group will be first rate. Again, space is limited. If you would like to come to the conference, please visit the conference website (http://www.asc.upenn.edu/hyperlinked) and register.
Hi again, A followup to the announcement for the "Hyperlinked Society" conference I sent out yesterday: for a brief period after I sent out the announcement, it was impossible to register for the conference due to a problem with the script because we switched servers - it is fixed now. If you had trouble registering for the conference yesterday, please try again now. Sorry for the inconvenience!
