Some Takeaways from The Conversation in NYC this Weekend

This weekend I attended The Conversation at Columbia University.  It was a packed day of discussion about new media distribution strategies, monetization, web tools, social networks and, occasionally, social change.  Thank you to the organizers for putting together a really robust day.  I walked away from the event feeling excited about this era we are in that allows mediamakers to not take "no" as an answer from distributors and other institutions.  Instead, mediamakers can do it on their own and are increasingly finding ways to make this strategy financially viable as well.  For a nice summary of the Tweets from the day, click here.  I look forward to continuing The Conversation!
