MBA Media and Entertainment Conference

As you might imagine, recruiting for a job in the media and entertainment industry while living in Charlottesville, Va. can be a bit of a challenge. The city, while full of a multitude of delights, is far from a media hub. Because of this, my job search has taken me to New York City ("concrete jungle where dreams are made of," according to Alicia Keys and Jay-Z) on several occasions. Tomorrow, I head north again to attend the MBA Media and Entertainment Conference at New York University's Stern School of Business. According to the conference website, the event is "the premiere event for business school students focusing on the media, entertainment and technology industries." And the list of panel topics and panelists is indeed impressive. Yesterday, I signed up to attend talks on corporate strategy, a new business model for news and new media subscriptions. I have to admit, I'm pretty excited. While Darden has attracted a strong cohort of would-be media execs, it'll be great to talk to others with similar ambitions and passions.
