Next week: Inverge Portland
Really looking forward to Inverge — “the interactive convergence conference” — next week.
At first blush, this isn’t a natural “sonic branding” fit. Yet convergent, cross-media design is the inevitable future. And we believe sound is a significant ingredient in designing the immersive and interactive experiences of that future.
The lineup looks great. I’m especially looking forward to Joshua Green, Convergence Culture Consortium at MIT and William Swartout, Director of Technology for USC’s Institute for Creative Technologies. Also looking forward to finding out what “cyborg anthropologist and social media consultant” Amber Case does for a living, as that’s a most curious title of the bunch.
On a related note, 5D is coming up soon, too — Long Beach in October. Martyn is running a two-hour Future of Sound event there, which should provide yet more great options for shaking hands and devising beautiful things that may or may not be useful.

Thanks for talking about Inverge!
I hope to meet you there as well. I am interested in learning about what the rep. from MIT has to say about Convergence Culture.
Excellent. It’ll be great to connect with you!
