In addition to the conference sessions, attendees will have the opportunity to preview Tech’s FutureMedia Outlook 2012, which outlines megatrends that could shape the future of media, content and information in the next five years, and view start-up and research demos presenting the latest technologies from Tech students and leading practitioners in the media fields.
