What is Futures of
Entertainment?
Hosted by the Convergence Culture Consortium at MIT, Futures of Entertainment brings together scholars and key thinkers from the television, advertising, marketing, and entertainment industries to discuss the unfolding future of the entertainment landscape.
About this year’s conference:
Convergence has moved swiftly from buzzword to industry logic. The creation of transmedia storyworlds, understanding how to appeal to migratory audiences, and the production of digital extensions for traditional materials are becoming the bread and butter of working in the media. Futures of Entertainment 4 brings together key industry leaders who are shaping these new directions in our culture and scholars immersed in the investigation the social, cultural, political, economic, and technological implications of these changes in our
media landscape.
