The Digital Media Conference brings together players from the entertainment, internet and new media industries with a focus on digital media creation and distribution. It opened with Analysts talking about trends in digital media and includes sessions on online advertising, video, and social media. It’s a jam packed day with two separate sessions throughout the day punctuated by keynotes by industry power players from AOL, Yahoo, Bittorrent, Napster and the list goes on.
The most exciting this for me here today are the B-sides. They’ve devoted basically the entire second track of the conference to Mobile industry panels and that’s just my speed. I’ve hunkered down in a front row seat by the *only* power strip in the whole conference room and I refuse to move so that I can share the most interesting and insightful trends from the panel sessions.

I know- it’s a lot to take in isn’t it? It’s really awesome that they had the foresight to give mobile such a thorough look at today’s conference. I’m really hoping to learn more about mobile web usage and market penetration, as well as the new distribution channels that the mobile web is opening up.
I’ll also be checking out the Lunch Keynote by AOL’s own Linda Clarizio, President of the Platform A Division, the industry’s largest online ad network and the Social Media: What’s Next panel discussion.
