WHAT Please join us on Tuesday, August 25th for the next Future of Local Media Salon Series, The Future of Hyper-Local City Guides. This event will take on a life dictated by our group of great panelists, but will be an energetic discussion about new ways to explore and discover new places. Come out to learn from and network with other Local Media Makers. We hope to see you there!

About this Month's Event: Traditionally, local city guides have been created and utilized specifically for the promotion and exploration of local places and businesses (Bars, Clubs, Events, Shops etc.). While local has always played an important role in the distribution of media, the landscape from which this media is both promoted and consumed is changing rapidly. As more people and businesses use the web to expand their presence on the local level, will newer nimble web services replace conventional advertising outlets as a less costly, transparent, more customer-centric alternative?

Event Format: We plan to focus each event on one specific topic within the local media space. Each event will begin with 30 minutes of open forum where 5-7 people can present their company, favorite service, crazy idea, etc. to the audience. As long as it's related to the that month's topic, anything goes! Immediately following the forum will hold our Salon Series panel where 3-4 panelists discuss the future of that month's topic.

Panelists Prximity – Brad Rosen Foursquare – Dennis Crowley, Co-Founder Mapcidy – James Tunik, CEO Buzzd – Polly Lieberman, VP
