MPA Schedule Now Online
On Monday, July 20, we will be offering a special one-day program track focused on the impact of the Harry Potter phenomenon on business and law; this track will take place off-site at ZEUM. The special registration for the MPA includes breakfast at the Parc55 on Monday morning, with a presentation by Susan Gunelius, author of Harry Potter: the Story of a Global Business Phenomenon, lunch with special guests, and a networking reception at the end of the day's program, three amazing panels and your choice of three breakout sessions from our list of at least a dozen fantastic Q&As, micro-panels and presentations.
While the Luncheon and Cocktail Reception are open only to MPA registrants, if you have a Full Registration, a No-Feasts Weekend Pass, a Vendor Pass or a Merlin's Circle registration, you can attend one MPA session of your choice (taking Fire Marshall limitations into consideration) - and you can add on an MPA registration at the Registration Desk at Azkatraz through July 18. Those who hold a Monday registration cannot attend MPA programming without upgrading to the MPA ticket.
The MPA will cost $130 without a registration, $100 with a full- or weekend-registration, and $75 for Merlin Circle sponsors.
The list of presenters includes Robin Burgener and Tanis Stoliar of the 20Q Project, Lev Grossman, TIME Magazine's book editor and tech writer, Fred Von Lohmann and Corynne McSherry of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, of Dreamwidth StudiosDenise Paolucci & Mark Smith, Elizabeth Bland, Exhibition Coordinator at the National Library of Medicine, Aaron Schwabach and Julie Cromer-Young of the Thomas Jefferson School of Law, and of course Henry Jenkins, who is transitioning from MIT to USC, and MPA Chair Monique Trottier, formerly of Raincoast Books.
