Calling all Bloggers!

As a Media Club member, I just joined the organization of one of the most important LBS events: the London Media Summit. I just couldn't miss this great networking opportunity! Besides, it will allow me to join this event for free ;-) and maybe go to the pre-conference dinner in London. That would be fantastic!

The Media Club is a thriving organisation with over 300 current students and 650 alumni, and one of the most active professional associations on campus. The Club provides an engaging forum for students interested in all aspects of media. We bring together television, radio, film, music, games, publishing, and new media firms with the talented students interested in these fields.

I was really surprised with the quality of the confirmed speakers. You can get this info from the event's website but, for now, here's who they are:
- Luke Johnson, Chairman of Channel 4.
- James Purnell MP, Minister of Creative Industry and Tourism (what a cool ministry!! :-)) )
- Victoria Barnsley, CEO, Harper Collins UK.
- Thomas Hoegh, CEO, Arts Alliance Media.

My job is to organise a panel (one moderator and 3 to 5 panellists) to discuss 'Organising User Created Content'. And this means blogging (eheh!), podcasting, posting pictures to websites, mobile internet sites, etc. Not my favourite media subjects (which are film and music) but still very cool. I may even get some nice contacts for the dreaded Shadowing project. For now we're thinking to contact companies like last.fm, google (blogger.com), apple (itunes), Emap, podshow.com, etc...

So.... to all the bloggers out there, and to all the readers of this blog, if you know someone who works in those areas and is UK-based, then please drop me an email or leave a comment! Every advice will be extremely valuable.
