We've been invited to go along to a conference next week organized by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport on "creative industries". Although we made it clear to them that we are not-for-profit and a lot of the programme is not particularly relevant, they were very keen to get us to go along, even to the extent of giving us a free ticket.
The website is at http://www.cabinetforum.org and the agenda is:
- New business models for online content: How can a viable business be made out of online content without relying on advertising?
Wikipedia is not the only project. Wikinews is CC-BY. Content can be copied and used on an ad-supported site. See http://enwn.net/aEDd
My question: what should I focus on at this conference and what should I aim to get out of it?
As mentioned earlier, get names, and, I'd add, try to get any press there to mention you were present.
