Future:Media:Change

Social Media Strategy Game at Pop!Tech 2009

Pop!Tech is finishing up in Maine today. I’ve been watching the session on food called, “Edible Futures” where Michael Pollan made the startling claim that if everyone stopped eating meat one day a week the carbon-footprint reduction would be the equivalent to that of taking 20 million gas guzzlers off the road.

They are LiveStreaming and I’m finding the Twitter-integrated version utilizing TwebEvents to be my favorite spot to watch.  Pop!Tech has also done a great job integrating some Twitter and Facebook chat options on their Live Video page.

America stands at a complex crossroads, economically, technologically, socially and geopolitically. Major forces are reshaping the idea of America, its government’s contract with its citizens, its brand, and its role in the world. And there is not a single global challenge that can be addressed without it.

At Pop!Tech 2009, we’ll take a top-to-bottom look at America’s opportunities, its challenges, and its future. We’ll explore the country’s business model in the decades to come, and unearth inspiring stories of American invention and social innovation. We’ll explore the country’s role in the world, and the world’s role in the U.S. We’ll look at cutting-edge ideas in education, energy, entrepreneurship, and the many other social systems on which America’s future wealth depends, and we’ll ask what it means to be a superpower in the age of the Second Superpower — the Internet. We’ll share rousing stories of people on the front lines of the next American Revolutions.
