What = Technology for the Turnaround (4/25) UGA

We have a whole different type of day planned for "Technology for the Turnaround: A Crisis is a Terrible Thing to Waste." No stuffy panel discussions. No pseudo sales pitches. No too-long explanations of what you already know. Nope. Tech4Turn is all about ideas -- ideas that can help us get ahead. And it is FREE! You can read all about the day at http://www.mynmi.net/Tech4Turn/. But here is a thumbnail sketch of the day. And all most of the activities are at the Miller Learning Center at UGA (http://www.slc.uga.edu/)

1:00 -- Welcome
1:15 -- Innovation for the Turnaround

Jennifer Dorian (Senior Vice President of Network Strategy and Brand Development -- Turner Entertainment Networks) will share her ideas for where we can find and build innovation.

1:45 -- Quick Fire Trend Discussions

Our goal is to come up with a list of technology trends that are going to play the biggest role in shaping digital media after the economic turnaround. We will be calling on our invited guests and other attendees to tell us what to watch for in areas like gaming, social media, online video, advertising, mobile, etc.

3:00 -- Break

Yeah, we will need it.

3:15 -- Student Show-Offs

New Media Institute and other Grady students will be showing off the projects they have been working this semester. These are going to be rapid-fire as well. Plan on walking around and talking to students about their projects for no more than 5 minutes. Then I will push you to move on. We will probably have 15 different team projects for you to see so we have to go fast and hard.

5:00 -- Networking Reception
Everyone is invited to the Dean's Garden at Grady for an informal networking reception. Bring your cards and be ready to network, network, network!
