Next Friday Nov. 21st and Saturday Nov. 22nd the Convergence Culture Consortium will host the third annual Futures of Entertainment Conference. This incredible conference, inspired by and lead by Henry Jenkins, author of Convergence Culture, brings together some of the most brilliant minds in new media, from academia, the marketing industry, and the entertainment industry. Over the course of 2 information-packed days, attendees are treated to long thoughtful panel discussions on topics like finding value in new entertainment, making the audience matter, comic books, and transmedia extensions. The part I'm most looking forward to is a one-on-one conversation between Henry Jenkins and Yochai Benkler, author of The Wealth of Networks.

You can register for either one or two days. I went last year, and it was the best conference I've been to all year. I highly recommend it.
