Are you an MBA student? Are you into Film, TV, Sports, Music, or Media & Entertainment in general? Are you even remotely close to NYC? If you said yes, than you MUST register for and attend the 2010 MBA Media and Entertainment Conference, February 26th at NYU.

The conference brings together the nation's top MBA students as well as media, entertainment, and related companies. The purpose is to foster informative dialogue about the film, print, music, television, sports, and publishing industries. Last year's attendance reached a record 600 MBA students. The keynote speakers this year are Philippe Dauman, CEO of Viacom and Janet Robinson, CEO of the New York Times.

I am organizing a panel on business development / Creating sustainable franchises and have secured several heavyweight panelists. I'd tell you all about them, but you'll just have to come to the panel. I can say that my panelists represent a certain popular TV show, a major player in comics, a giant in the live entertainment industry, and an extremely popular video game series.

And that is just mine. From venture capital to mobile media, talent management to corporate strategy, we are doing it all.

Want to know about the other 14 panels? Check it out the full list here with descriptions.

There is no press at the event, so the AS Crew won't be representing. But, as one of the organizers from NYU, I am ordering all Tristate (hell, we have kids from France coming) students to attend. Registration opens on Thursday the 28th, and it will sell out.
