> Demonstrations, Tutorials and Workshops
>
> We are pleased to invite you to the Academic MindTrek conference  
> from 6th - 8th October 2010,
> which brings together a cross-disciplinary crowd of people to  
> investigate current and emerging
> topics of media in the ubiquitous arena. Among the media to be  
> discussed, will be business,
> social, technical and content-related topics.
>
> September 6th is the main Academic day, featuring the following  
> themes:
>
> Social Media
> "Get social!" Social media and Web 2.0 technologies are applied in  
> ever diverse practices both
> in private and public communities. Totally new business models are  
> emerging, traditional
> communication and expression modalities are challenged, and new  
> practices are constructed
> in the collaborative, interactive media space.
>
> Ambient and Ubiquitous Media
> "The medium is the message!" - This conference track focuses on the  
> definition of ambient
> and ubiquitous media with a cross-disciplinary viewpoint: ambient  
> media between technology,
> art, and content. The focus of this track is on applications,  
> theory, art-works, mixed reality
> concepts, the Web 3.0, and user experiences that make ubiquitous and  
> ambient media tick.
>
> Digital Games
> The culture and business of digital games is becoming increasingly  
> varied. The current trends
> range from novel interface innovations and digital distribution  
> channels to social game dynamics
> and player-generated content. The games track is open for  
> theoretical works, empirical case
> studies and constructive projects.
>
> Open Source
> Open source software is gaining momentum in several forms. In  
> addition to the huge increase in
> the number of open source projects started and the remarkable rise  
> of FLOSS adoption by companies,
> new models of participation in the movement are emerging rapidly.
>
> Media Business, Media Production and Media Management
> Media business and media management face the challenges of the  
> emergence of new forms of digital
> media. This theme focuses on business studies, policies, practices,  
> and organizational structure
> of media firms. It discusses competition, patterns of media usage,  
> advertising models, and how
> traditional media can cope with the challenges coming from digital  
> media focusing on media business
> and media management issues.
>
>
> In addition, special academic sessions (e.g. tutorials,  
> demonstrations, workshops, and
> multidisciplinary sessions) will be held on Oct 7th & 8th, parallel  
> to the MindTrek business
> conference.  Academic speakers and authors are warmly welcome to  
> attend the business conference
> tracks as part of the academic conference fee during these days as  
> well.
>
> The MindTrek Association hosts MindTrek as a yearly conference,  
> where the Academic MindTrek conference
> has been a part of this unique set of events comprising  
> competitions, world famous keynote speakers,
> plenary sessions, media festivals, and workshops since 1997. It is a  
> meeting place where experts and
> thinkers present results from their latest work regarding the  
> development of Internet, interactive media,
> and the information society. MindTrek brings together researchers  
> and practitioners from diverse
> disciplines that are involved in the development of media in various  
> fields, ranging from sociology
> and the economy, to technology.
