July 23rd @The Hollywood Roosevelt [buy tickets]

“Celebrity is a booming marketplace and all of this just adds up to good business for an array of old media and new media entrepreneurs. What drives the economics of celebrity content, supply or demand? What are the challenges of monetizing it? Who is creating, producing, and distributing the content? Where are investors seeing opportunities in this new mass and who is capturing the most buzzworthy M&A opportunities to be the biggest and best in the space.” –paidContent.org
