If the video above with mediabistro.com founder Laurel Touby, and TVNewser.com's Chris Ariens and Steve Krakauer don't sell you on the TVNewser Summit event next week, maybe something else will.

Rubbing shoulders with TV people can be a tough thing. Producers and talent have odd schedules, and limited time for networking with PR people. Here's your chance. This focused one-day gathering will be populated by a mix of business side executives, correspondents, anchors, and producers.

The day is separated in three parts. First there's the New Tools of the Trade panel about how journalists are using social media to do their jobs. The second panel covers how TV networks are transforming in to digital entities, and how they plan on making money in the future. The day closes with a fireside chat with Joe Scarborough and his scowling foil Mika Brzezinski of MSNBC's Morning Joe.

Then you get to drink whiskey at the end! Drop me a note if you plan on attending.
