MIT's Convergence Culture Consortium is putting together an unbelievable conference on Futures of Entertainment that is planned for Nov 17-18 in Cambridge, MA.
Check out the list of speakers: "The event is designed to bring together leading thinkers from across the entertainment industry to speak about core issues around media convergence, transmedia storytelling, user-generated content, and participatory culture. Speakers confirmed so far include The Long Tail's Chris Anderson, Flickr's Caterina Fake, DC Comic's Paul Levitz, Warner Brother's Diane Nelson, Big Spaceship's Michael Lebowitz, social networking researcher danah boyd, television scholar Jason Mittell, and many others, including representatives from MTV, Cartoon Network, Bioware, and other leading companies in this space."
It's free -- as in beer -- but you have to preregister fast because there are only so many seats.
