The Media in Transition 2006 Conference, hosted in Munich, Germany, will be discussing the structural transition in the media industry - how the Internet is modifying the way media is produced, distributed and consumed. We have invited innovative Internet media companies, researchers and strategists from U.K., Canada, U.S.A. und central Europe to Munich for two intensive days. Media technology is not only a receiving device, but also a transceiving and transmitting device [Economies of "Pull" and Push vs. Pull Models]. The big growth potential in media business lies in the area of user generated content. This requires a new kind of thinking - especially for decision makers in media, which are the target group for this conference.
