A CT Digital Media Public Policy Roundtable - Creating jobs and business the digital media industry

A public forum on the digital media industry and how public policy can ensure it grows jobs and establishes companies right here in Connecticut.  

The recession has forced public policy decision-makers to refocus on job and business creation while President Obama has promised to boost the broadband infrastructure to create a million or more jobs.  Connecticut’s location and talent base are perfectly suited to take advantage of and create a new growth economy based on the digital media industries.  The challenge – creating public policy that results not only in new jobs, but in an environment for entrepreneurs to create a new generation of businesses.  Join this roundtable to hear where digital media jobs and business opportunities are emerging and how public policy can ensure they grow right here in Connecticut.  

Who should attend?

• Legislators needing to learn about which policies will create jobs and businesses
• Media executives needing to understand how public policy will impact business
• Entrepreneurs who will have new business opportunities as a result of public policy
• Union executives seeking to understand the new jobs that will be created
