DIY Video Summit at US Feb. 8 – 10

This could be very interesting to go to.  Or, it could be a giant waste of time, but if you’re in any lifestyle marketing business, even if the conference is useless, meeting people there is usually worth it.  I’d be interested to hear from someone who went what they thought.  I’ll get back to you with that one.  Fri Feb 8 – Sun Feb 10 08 (schedule) @ Various locationsAt this point, calling YouTube a trend would be a gross understatement; DIY filmmaking and broadcasting are as common as your regularly scheduled programming. USC School of Cinematic Arts examines the state of the filmmaking union with 24/7: A DIY Video Summit. The three-day event gathers filmmakers, enthusiasts, scholars, industry peeps, and voyeurs for a series of screenings, lectures (from John Seely Brown and Howard Rheinold, among others), and workshops. Representatives from YouTube, Eyespot, and Stage6 are also on hand to explain how, exactly, one does the “Numa Numa Dance.”
