Never before have so many people had so much access to so many communication tools, and never before have those tools been so powerful. In a very real sense, we're limited only by our imaginations.
The folks at FreshMedia are bringing those imaginations together in a one-day forum on Saturday, Oct. 23, to celebrate and anticipate media innovation in the 21st century. They are inviting media innovators, artists, citizens and the online community into an interactive space where everyone can create media together. Why? According to their website, "Our ultimate goal is to inspire, inform, motivate, share practices and skills and create visions and practices for moving media forward."
The forum is in Vancouver but you can take part from anywhere through the Interactive Live Online TV Show, which uses two-way streaming technology. Filming happens from 1:50 to 3:50 p.m.

Attn : David Beers
Would it be possible to dedicate a tab for upcoming time-sensitive events of this sort ?
Suggestion :
Perhaps merge 'Life' with 'Arts and Culture' and/or 'Books' with 'Mediacheck' and/or 'News' with 'Opinion' .
Then you'd have room for a 'Science/Tech' tab too !

More advance warning
Ditto the above sentiments. I got email notice of this Saturday event only on Friday, and didn't check email till Sunday. Missed it completely. Next time, better publicity would help.

Thanks for the idea
This has been good feedback. We realize we should have done a better job of letting everyone know about the event, and will run stories earlier, and more prominently when possible.
OilbertaRedTory: Not sure we can create a new tab. We don't have the resources to rejigger the site to that degree at the moment.
The Fresh Media event was great, by the way. Congrats to the team that put it together, and thanks to all who came out and made it worthwhile with your participation.

Is there another story coming?
I too was most interested and found out too late. Will there be a recap on what came out of the event?
