More info on The Conversation:
In March, pioneers at the forefront of change in cinema, video, digital media and technology are gathering again to share ideas, insights, and innovations. Our focus for this second edition of The Conversation are the opportunities created by social media, the Web, digital distribution, and an increasingly engaged audience.
Rather than sitting through a standard conference, you'll be part of a dynamic series of overlapping conversations -- some led by the speakers and moderators on the agenda, some shaped by you.

All this takes place on the uptown Manhattan campus of Columbia University on one jam-packed day: Saturday, March 27th. It's a day that will bring together media-makers, techies, and social media strategists to share experiences and advice, map out the future together, and ideally begin some lasting collaborations.
