Media Future Now will make its triumphant Fall return to the starved new media environment that is our nation’s capital for a special evening event on MONDAY OCTOBER 19th at the New America Foundation, 1899 L St, NW, Suite 400, Washington, DC 20036 (Farragut North and Farragut West metros), at 5:30pm. Refreshments of the happy hour variety (and varietals) may be served.

Thank you in advance to Troy Schneider of New America and Troy’s colleagues at NAF for hosting our October event. Adult beverages will be furnished through the wonderful generosity of the new media wiz kids at Mirsky & Kong PLLC, so be sure to get there early for the good stuff (we’re breaking out the Blue Nun!).

OUR OCTOBER 19th EVENT: “Privacy: Mobile and Social Media”. TWITTER: #mfn

We will have a cocktail to celebrate the fall colors. We will toast to the good luck of the New York (football) Giants in their current campaign.

And we will talk about PRIVACY, including legal issues in MOBILE MEDIA and SOCIAL MEDIA, including social media and the nonprofit sector through CAUSES on FACEBOOK.

We will be joined by KAREN NEUMAN, a partner with ST. LEDGER-ROTY NEUMAN & OLSON LLP. We will also be joined by Mathew Mahan, director of nonprofit relations and business development at CAUSES on FACEBOOK (the largest application on Facebook). ANDY MIRSKY of MIRSKY & KONG PLLC will moderate.

Karen Neuman’s practice focuses on telecommunications and related privacy & information security issues. Karen will discuss how the unprecedented deployment of new technologies, applications and devices in mobile communications is outpacing the efforts of courts and regulators to strike a balance between preserving an environment that continues to foster innovation in services and products – including new business models for supporting those services and products – and protecting privacy and individual data.

Moving along to social media, Mathew Mahan, of Causes on Facebook, will discuss how Causes leverages social networks for philanthropy, offline action, cause marketing and campaigns. While perhaps a stretch, we will attempt to segue privacy from mobile to social media, particularly with the breadth and depth of data coursing through Causes’ 85 million users, 300,000 user-created “causes” (online grassroots communities) and 65,000 nonprofit beneficiaries.

Date: MONDAY OCTOBER 19th
Time: 5:30pm to 7pm
Place: New America Foundation, 1899 L St, NW, Suite 400, Washington, DC 20036 (Farragut North and Farragut West metros).
