‘Finding the Future of Public Television’ seminars this weekend

A public service announcement:

If tomorrow’s Yom Kippur services merely whet your appetite for shame, consider spending your weekend being shamed about not watching enough public television at ‘Finding the Future of Public Television’, a conference sponsored by the American Cinema Foundation, in conjunction with the Los Angeles Press Club AND the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. It’s an ACF/LAPC/CPB mash-up.

The conference will be held on the AFI campus, and it’s free, and I hear there will be food. FREE food. (What kind? I wasn’t told, but I foresee crackers and cheese and maybe a little two-buck chuck.) Panels include ‘Will You, Won’t You Join the Dance: The Experience of Producing for Public Television,’ and ‘Public Television Confidential: A Look at Basic Premises.’ There will also be a special panel comprised of the nine people in the United States who watch public television. Sorry, no autographs.

Reservations are required- click here for the full schedule and so forth. Also, important FishbowlLA exclusive: Come dressed as your favorite Doctor Who or Monty Python character, and get free food.

Launch a social media campaign that will build your brand and deliver results in our online Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting June 7. Speakers include Abigail Cusick (Bravo Digital), Gregory Galant (Sawhorse Media), Alex Leo (Thomson Reuters Digital), Jim Tobin (Ignite Social Media), and many more. Read the reviews.
