Seattle IMA conference

Ipods (and other media devices) and on-demand content are big themes at conferences everywhere this year, including those for public broadcasters.

I’ve been invited to speak at the Integrated Media Association’s Public Broadcasting New Media Conference in Seattle, Washington Feb 21-25th.

This is an international conference featuring some of the world’s top public broadcasters, as well as representatives from software and hardware companies that work in this space.

Looks like I’ll be involved in a number of presentations and panels on the 22nd and 23rd.

I’m presenting on new models for broadcast and how they challenge existing media for audience loyalty, where I get to team up with my pal Tony Walker of DiG radio at ABC Melbourne.

Looks like I’ll also be on a panel called The Web 2.0 and Public Media which also features speakers from PBS powerhouse WGBH in Boston, the Research Channel, and university station WILL in Champaign-Urbana.
