The Center for Social Media has announced the next incarnation of the Making Your Media Matter Conference. It will be held at American University in Washington DC on February 12-13, 2009. So far, social issue documentary veterans George Stoney and Gordon Quinn are scheduled for keynotes. Who should go? “Join filmmakers, distributors, outreach specialists and an impressive cast of media pioneers for a series of panel discussions on the latest tools and trends in creating, distributing, and fundraising for social issue media.”

If that sounds like your bag, you should consider attending. This particular conference always has proved fruitful for me personally. I’ve been twice and met many new contacts that I’ve kept over the years. It’s usually a manageable crowd with lots of time for chatting and engaging with attendees and speakers.
