+ Private Television conference

IBBT-SMIT, Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Belgium) will organize the second 
International Symposium on Media innovations in cooperation with the 
University of Oslo (Norway).

Scholars, editors, producers, and executives from around the world will 
gather in Brussels to discuss innovation in the media industry. The 
Symposium is a small, but very intense conference that examines the 
state of media innovations. It addresses the challenges, the 
opportunities and the fundamentally changing ways media and 
entertainment companies can operate in the context of convergence and 
digitization. The first day will focus on evolutions in the different 
media sectors. The second day will be a co-organization with the Private 
Television Conference (www.privatetelevision.eu) and will be dedicated 
to innovations in the television broadcasting industry.

The Media Innovations symposium explores how changing technologies, and 
changing modes of usage and engagement with media bring about innovation 
and transformation of the media industry and policy. We will work with a 
combination of industrial and academic panels to discuss the current 
trends and challenges in (a selection of) the following sectors: print, 
publishing, television, film, radio, advertising, gaming, social media,…

We invite submissions for papers on the following topics within these 
sectors:

*Innovating in formats

*Innovating in business models

*Innovating in delivery (trying to reach the consumer in new ways)

*Innovating in consumption practices (new roles of users)
