8. CMTO - Part 1 - Panel Presentation: Melting the Silos - Cross Media Toronto

TITLE: Melting the Silos: The Reality of Cross Media Integration

DESCRIPTION: Five of the media industry's top players -- one from each sector -- offer their insight, and debate the outcome, of how media will be produced, distributed, and consumed in a cross media environment. The goal of the panel is to focus on what is working, or not working, in cross media at present. We will avoid pie-in-the-sky predictions and questionable business models. The panelists will offer strategies on how to incorporate cross media into your business model and give insight into some of the challenges the media industry faces as the silos melt together.
