Come out and Play digital media event (Berkeley)

I frequently moderate panel sessions at digital music/media industry conferences. Many are regular annual (or semi-annual) events that have been going on for years. Every once in awhile, a new one pops onto the horizon. One such event is Play Digital, a one-day conference held at UC Berkeley (this year on SAT October 27th), focused on uniting forward-thinkers in digital media to share ideas about some of the developments in the space that impact consumers and their lifestyles. Speakers will represent both the creative and production issues along with many of the usual business discussions.

I've been asked to moderate a panel on the shifting roles in the digital music space as business models evolve. Joining me will be representatives of the different players in the ecosystem from the artist, label, device, distribution, and social networking communities. We'll look at the power shifts between artists and labels, consumers and media companies, and more. It should be a fun and engaging dialogue; please come and "play" with us if you're able.
