Media X Partners conference draws large crowd

NOVEMBER 9, 2003. The second Annual Media X Conference was held in Stanford's Wallenberg Hall on Saturday, November 8th, 2003. Over 150 people attended the event, including more than 100 industry representatives from Media X partners and other companies. Participants were treated to a sampling of the 30-plus Media X projects initiated last year. The conference followed the same successful format as the previous year's event, with rapid-fire overview presentations followed by opportunities to meet researchers and learn about relevant projects in greater depth. The daylong event was divided into four 90-minute sessions, with networking breaks between each session. Each 90-minute interval began with five or six 5-minute presentations from Media X researchers, summarizing their work.

These presentations were followed by an hour-long breakout period where the presenters and their research teams held poster sessions, giving attendants plenty of time to talk with the researchers in small groups.
