Conferences, Presentations and Workshops
Here's a listing of upcoming workshops and conferences that is on the radar of May First/People Link:
- NYC Grassroots Media Conference is scheduled for May 30, 2009 at Hunter. They are also MFPL members.
- New America Media's Ethnic Media Expo and Awards is the largest event of its type. This year's is in Atlanta. We do have some contacts among organizers and so maybe it's a good place for your workshop...at least. But the workshop would have to be supplementary to the event since there are no workshops at the event.
- Open Video Alliance is having their first conference June 19 - 20.
- Allied Media Conference is scheduled for July 16 - 19.
- Unity conference is another one we may want to consider next year (July 2009). 2008 conference site is online.
- Blogging while Brown - missed it in 2008, maybe 2009?
- Grassroots Technology conference is scheduled for October 16 and 17 2009.
