FuturesOfEntertainment -- Futures of Entertainment
About FuturesOfEntertainment	English (USA)
Futures of Entertainment, hosted by the Convergence Culture Consortium, and the Comparative Media Studies program at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. As advertisers look for new ways to engage audiences, content creators search for new audiences, and audiences quest for new ways to connect with culture, the nature of what counts as 'entertainment' is rapidly changing. We are seeing the blurring of aesthetic and technological distinctions between media platforms, of 'advertising' and 'content' and of 'creator' and 'consumer'. Futures of Entertainment brings together key industry leaders who are shaping these new directions in our culture. The conference will consider developments such as user-generated content, transmedia storytelling, the rise of mobile media and the emergence of social networking.
