This past weekend, nextMEDIA 2008 was held in Banff, Alberta, sold-out again for the second year in a row. Attending nextMEDIA were some of the top executives, producers and creators working in the field of digital content and media, converging from around the world to talk about the future of entertainment in a multiplatform world. One of the most talked about panels at nextMEDIA was "Harnessing the Power of Social Media Platforms", presented by Digital Alberta, Banff New Media Institute and Calgary Economic Development.
