Business of New Media Conference:
"Where is the Money?"
Friday, December 11, 2009
8:15 AM - 5:00 PM
Mountain View, CA
As old models for media businesses struggle, new technology has multiplied the paths of delivering digital content to users. Blogs, podcasting, Internet radio and TV, social networking, and portable media all are examples of new media forcing old media to change, adapt, evolve or perish.
Are there new media strategies that can make money, or is new media just a faster way of giving away valuable content for free?
This year’s conference will look at successful new media businesses models and help define what consumers value, what will they pay for, and how will they pay.
There will be panel sessions on successful new media business models, metrics for success, payment strategies, disruptive technologies on the horizon, and in what technologies VCs are looking to invest. You will also have a chance to check out demos of some of the newest and coolest ideas in new media.
Some of the Confirmed Speakers Include:
Gene Alston, PayPal X
Andrew Braccia, Accel Partners
Tim Chang, Norwest Venture Partners
Tom Conrad, Pandora
Jonathan Flesher, Zynga

Green and Clean Evening Series: How Green are You Going to Be?
Tuesday, December 15, 2009
6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Menlo Park, CA
The greening of our society has been under way for well over a decade and changing our language along the way. The rise of consumers becoming Eco-frugal or going for Eco-status by tuning into Eco-vertising leads the market and entrepreneurs to believe we've shifted from a 'fad' to fundamental changes to our lifestyle. This discussion will center on forecasted consumer technology trends and where money should be invested and the types of companies that will emerge in the next 2-4 years.
Speakers will include Sara Batterby, Tod Francis, Jan Pepper, Scott Potter, Alicia Seiger, and Mitch Zuklie.
