This conference, sponsored by Knight, brings together some of the brightest minds in media. Below is a partial list of attendees.

• Madeleine Albright (former Secretary of State)
• Philip Bennett (Managing Editor of Washington Post Company)
• Reed Hundt (former FCC chair)
• Paula Kerger (President and CEO, PBS)
• Bill Kling (President and CEO American Public Media)

• Andrew Prozes (CEO Nexis Lexis)
• Philip Rosedale (founder Second Life)
• Paul Sagan (CEO Akamai)

The Paris Hilton video response to the McCain ad definitely got everyone’s attention here and has been discussed as one example for the changed nature of media in the 2008 election.
