[kGen] Call for speakers: Kendra convergence workshop 22/10...

[Daniel Harris <daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there All,

So far we have the following confirmed speakers:

Daniel Harris - Currently Unemploy(ed/able) - GB
Justin Keery - Individual - GB
Nick Ogden CEO - WorldPay plc - GB
Stacey Pogoda - Middlesex University - GB
Toby Slater - Toby Slater - GB

But we're looking for more...

We're looking for short, sharp, snappy presentations on various issues of 
convergence - namely: metadata/XML content tagging, content delivery 
networks and ISPs, Internet payment systems, non-profit organisational 
structures, human interface design for multimedia player applications, 
content owners/aggregators, rights management, etc. Open to ideas...

We will be having presentations in the morning and breaking out to 
workshops in the afternoon. We want to see outlines of problems and then 
suggested solutions. The former is no good without the latter!

You would get 15 to 30 minutes depending on how much time you want and how 
many people accept the invitation to speak. We will have a computer and 
projector if you need it. But the emphasis would be on concise, punchy 
information download.

The theme of the meeting is "convergence" and we will be looking at 
problems and solutions across the whole content value chain - from consumer 
to content owner/aggregator with service providers stuck in the middle. The 
audience will be from a cross section of industries: from content 
owners/creators/aggregators to ISPs, CDNs and payment service providers.

If you are interested then please reply to this on the kGen list and not to 
me directly.

You can really tell when a meeting is going to be cutting edge when the 
agenda gets built 2 weeks before the event! It's coming together very 
nicely. So, be prepared for a roller coaster! ;-)

Cheers Daniel
