IFE Media and Technology Roundtable
The IFE Media and Technology Roundtable (MTR) brings together private
and public sector leaders to explore the accelerating, technology-driven
trends that
are changing the nature of media - who creates it, how it is created, how
it is
monetized, the rise of new media and their threat to media incumbents,
and the many
new opportunities and challenges facing governments and policy processes
that are
generally still oriented around the traditional version of the "fourth
estate."A core
assumption of MTR is that we are in a time of fundamental transformation
in the
media industry which is not easily understood yet will have powerful and
long term
effects throughout society.
MTR meets regularly for off-the-record dinners aimed at open dialogue between experts in the many different areas that shape media - business, technology, finance, journalism, entertainment, academia, and policy/government. Guest speakers are invited to each dinner to serve as a catalyst for the broader investigation of topics.
MTR is led by IFE Board Member Shane Green, Vice President of Nokia subsidiary NAVTEQ, and Henry Ellenbogen, Portfolio Manager of the T. Rowe Price Media and Telecommunications Fund. IFE CEO and Founder Coach Kathy Kemper will join the group as well.
