WCN TRANSMEDIA EVENT SHOWCASE "TVOT" TV of Tomorrow Show 2011     May 17-18, 2011  Yerba Buena Center for the Arts   San Francisco, California Hosted by  Tracy Swedlow Founder, CEO, Editor-in-Chief, Co-Producer TVOT, Sponsorships.

First let me say that there has never been a more informative and exciting conference or time to be alive.  The acceleration of Facebook, Gaming and literally Trillions of dollars in global distribution opportunities for Artists, Fans, Innovators and yes friends even Customers.  The ultimate win win is on the horizon and may just be the economic change we have all been looking for.  What Tracy and Team has created in my opinion is the Social Media Equivalent to NAPTE, NAB, MIPCOM, and more. As convergence allows Producers of Content access to Advertisers for Product Placement WCN Transmedia Group is conducting several Transmedia Research Projects to match Content to Advertisers.  Those of us who have invested our lives in creating content only to find that Scarcity is a tool to limit creativity and access to licensed content. And speaking of Licensing what has it done for you lately.  Well should a invitation come I would love to share 

Transmedia Brandcasting will affect the future of the entire Entertainment Supply Chain.  Folks no need to be afraid we can bridge the gap between Traditional Media and New Social Transmdia. We are so confident that for the first 100 Advertisers, Agencies and Content Owners who join our Transmedia Brandcasting Research Project will get Free Mapping of 10 Hours a $100,000 Dollar Value for content to be monetized for instant purchase opportunities pushed throughout the Global Social Media Universe. And Agencies will receive a double their income guarantee from WCN matching whatever Agency Fee charged to an Advertiser WCN will match that commission.  WCN 
will be seeking Strategic Alliances for Transmedia R&D and the deadlines will be coordinated with through the end of TVOT Conference May 18th Register a Like on Facebook and be one of the first 100 to make Transmedia History.
