Cross Media TO
Wednesday, July 7th, 2010What is sure to be an interesting event is being held at my favourite building in Toronto, the MaRS Centre on July 21st from 6pm to 9:30pm called Cross Media TO. Billing itself as a conference that will bridge the gap between the different media sectors in order share information and find new opportunities, the event includes demos, debates, case studies and a panel presentation that is sure to open the eyes of many business executives still working hard to understand the changing landscape of media in North America and the world.
The list of speakers looks rather impressive, and don’t worry if you don’t recognize their names, just look at their titles and the companies they work for. If they don’t have experience in modern media, then who would?
Jacob Blackstock – CEO, Creative Director and Lead Designer, Bitstrips
Richard Bernstein – S.V.P. Managing Director, Arc Worldwide, A Leo Burnett Company
Lisa Charters – SVP Director Digital, Random House of Canada Limited
Colleen DeCourcy – Former Chief Digital Officer for TBWA Worldwide

I’ve been invited to the event to cover it, and will be publishing posts on a variety of different blogs thanks to the friendships I’ve made over the years. I will hopefully give those unable to attend a good rundown of all that is happening. Check back here the night of the event, as well as the day after.
And if you are interested in attending, you don’t have much time left, so jump over to the Cross Media TO website, and purchase your tickets today!
