The Next Big Thing in Digital News Innovation

The Next Big Thing is a new series of quarterly gatherings designed to showcase new entrants and disruptors in the media, entertainment, and technology spaces by bringing them together with established leaders and investors in those industries. The series launched in early 2011 with sponsorship from AdKeeper, the new venture from entrepreneur and Paley Center trustee Scott Kurnit, and Velociter, the strategic investment arm of Mediabrands. 

A mix of elevator pitches, open debate, and cocktail conversation, the Next Big Thing provides a forum for rising innovators and entrepreneurs to meet the pioneers and pillars of the media industry. Each gathering features short presentations and product demos by new entrepreneurs outlining their businesses and strategies for success followed by intimate discussion with a select audience drawn from the Paley Center's Media Council, and other leaders and innovators in the new media, technology, and venture capitalist communities.
