DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/1181977/ ] Evening Panel Event - 6.00 - 8.30 (and drinks and networking until late) Printed newspaper circulations across Europe are widely reported to be in decline. And one of the main reasons for this is people like you - Internet people - going to the websites instead. This is\, in some ways\, a positive result. In the most literal interpretation\, our newspapers are better read than ever before\, with the Guardian reaching over 20mn unique visitors a month. Local paper specialist Northcliffe now publishes more websites than it does newspapers. The problem is that advertising on the Internet is a lot cheaper than it is in a printed paper. These extra readers aren't bringing in the same amount of money that they would have done if they'd bought their paper at a newsagent. Plus\, these hordes of online readers might not be from the country that the advertisers are paying to reach. Very few campaigns that come through ad agencies have international audiences. Not only that. It's also very difficult to get anyone to pay for content on the Net the way they have historically done for their newspapers: roughly equivalent alternatives will be available for free somewhere else. The end result is that papers have more readers but lower revenues. So what's going to happen? Can newspapers continue much as they are\, or is it time to let go and begin a movement to purely digital formats? Join the debate on October 28 and find out more. The Panel: Nico Macdonald [Chair]\, writer and consultant on media and innovation. His work is documented at spy.co.uk . Neil Mcintosh \, head of editorial development\, guardian.co.uk. Blogs at Complete Tosh . Justin Williams \, Assistant Editor at the Telegraph Media Group. Writes a journalism blog at Counter Value . Martin Stabe \, online editor\, Retail Week\, formerly New Media editor\, pressgazette.co.uk. Also blogs . Tim Gopsill \, editor of The Journalist \, the magazine of the National Union of Journalists\, which is distributed free to 37\,000 journalists in the UK and Ireland. Tim is currently co-chair of the National Council of the Campaign for Press and Broadcasting Freedom and co-author of a book\, Journalists: 100 years of the NUJ. Mike Rowley \, Director of Digital Publishing &ndash\; Northcliffe Media \, working on Northcliffe's 150+ "This is" websites. This event is being supported by the Guardian .

The event aims to promote lively debate on the nature of games: what they mean to different people – both inside and outside the industry. Focusing on the creative and cultural dimensions\, Playful examines game design as both a discipline and craft\, offering different perspectives on its current and future possibilities. This year the event goes outreach. The conference will feature key practitioners from other areas of the creative arts\, and ‘collide’ them with practitioners from within. Following on from Sense of Play 06 and 07\, Playful is moving further afield to bring in experts and exponents from the cultural ‘mainstream’ to explore how to make the games medium more meaningful\, to more people. Attracting a wider audience is now very much in the minds of many developers and publishers\, and the knowledge that 65% of people who could engage with interactive entertainment choose not to. Despite bold efforts in the past few years by insiders and outsiders\, cultural deficiencies are still there – or at least perceived to be there. So what can those of us who design games really learn from other parts of the creative arts? Conversely what does game design have to offer other areas of entertainment and culture? Playful looks to chart the way forward\, and on its way will visit not just the conventional console and PC game\, but the myriad of interactive and play-based entertainment experiences which are increasingly becoming part of online\, film\, television\, theatre\, installation and performance arts. The event will look for the interesting and the valuable from a range of areas outside the traditional creative industries including built environment\, architects\, authors\, scientists\, as well as the core networked and creative sectors we work with. Speakers This list is still slightly subject to change. Also\, we're hoping to get some videos from the speakers as a teaser to what they might be talking about...

To put this in perspective\, television as a commercial medium reached its fifteenth birthday in 1956—the year Elvis Presley made his first appearance on national TV. National news broadcasts were still in their infancy\, "As The World Turns" debuted as America's first half-hour soap opera\, and "The Price Is Right" began its dominance of the game show genre. Commercial grade videotape recorders emerged\, portable black and white television sets were introduced\, and the first local color broadcast aired in Chicago. Fifteen years after television's birth\, the contours of the new medium were just emerging. The idea that this revolutionary new phenomenon—one busily reshaping the very fabric of society—might one day become just another application on a vast web of computers\, well that idea wasn't exactly in vogue. In the first four years of the Web 2.0 Summit\, we've focused on our industry's challenges and opportunities\, highlighting in particular the business models and leaders driving the Internet economy. But as we pondered the theme for this year\, one clear signal has emerged: our conversation is no longer just about the Web. Now is the time to ask how the Web—its technologies\, its values\, and its culture—might be tapped to address the world's most pressing limits. Or put another way—and in the true spirit of the Internet entrepreneur—its most pressing opportunities. As we convene the fifth annual Web 2.0 Summit\, our world is fraught with problems that engineers might charitably classify as NP hard—from roiling financial markets to global warming\, failing healthcare systems to intractable religious wars. In short\, it seems as if many of our most complex systems are reaching their limits. It strikes us that the Web might teach us new ways to address these limits. From harnessing collective intelligence to a bias toward open systems\, the Web's greatest inventions are\, at their core\, social movements. To that end\, we're expanding our program this year to include leaders in the fields of healthcare\, genetics\, finance\, global business\, and yes\, even politics. Increasingly\, the leaders of the Internet economy are turning their attention to the world outside our industry. And conversely\, the best minds of our generation are turning to the Web for solutions. At the fifth annual Web 2.0 Summit\, we'll endeavor to bring these groups together.
