Digital Hollywood Building Blocks Conference, San Jose
Just back from a fab conference in San Jose, Jointly Produced by Digital Hollywood, Inc. and the CEA Consumer Electronics Association
http://www.digitalhollywood.com/BuildingBlocks.html
LOVE to hear your thoughts about how technology & social networks have changed YOUR place of business and career.
Please read on then give us your thoughts:
Some of the dynamic and exciting panel discussions included
The Platforms that Tranform the Industry
Investment & Change: Media, Entertainment & Technology
The New Hollywood – Silicon Valley Investment Equation – Content Owners, New Platforms, VCs, Agents & Commerce
Three Days of energetic sessions in a great Open Dialog, active audience participation format!
Hold on to your hats, the talent that is focusing on business in the Cloud and in bringing Silicon Valley and Hollywood together, what the new media mogels call Siliwood, is smokin!
Many of the speakers and attendees seemed out of college less than ten years and they're holding the Keys to the Kingdom of their careers and possibly YOUR next job. These New media professional career commandos are not dependent on jobs or their corporation for their identity. They're busy building their own Brand with their work, their Facebook pages and Linked In networks and with their ferocious dedication to their current teams projects.
They Text, Twitter, widget and gadget seemingly 24-7. Silicon Valley, the place where someone managing a $3 billion venture fund is "just getting started"!
Yikes!!
Look out slow pokes, get yourself back in school and go make some Freshman friends to stay up to date on the latest in Social Networks, staying in touch and the coolest toys and business tools.
