InVerge Day 1: Great Information on the Convergence of Media and Technology

Day 1 of the InVerge conference was a success we were presented with information from some of the top people in their field. The presentations took us from the turn of the 19th century to 2020 and beyond. The information we received was not only useful but mind expanding as well.

We were treated to the following topics:

• Connection: never closer together, never farther apart?
• Exploring The Motivation Behind Co-Creation
• When worlds collide – Online worlds meet real world products
• Media Business Trends In The Age of Convergence: What Happens Next…And How You Should Prepare
• Toward the Holodeck: Integrating Graphics, Artificial Intelligence, Entertainment and Learning
• Why 2008 changes everything (in mobile tech)
• Immersive, Collaborative and Sentient Spaces: The Coming Revolution in Destination Entertainment
• Channel Explosion: How Convergence Morphed PR into a Marketing Superhero
• Social Everything, Everywhere, All-the-time

InVerge was a great day culminating in a reception at Wieden+Kennedy, just a short 2 block walk from the event where we were treated to some great finger foods good networking company, $6 a glass wine, and a gateway to First Thursday Festivities in the Pearl District.
