New Media BC announced that there will be a BC led new media symposium in Torino, Italy, during next week's Winter Olympics.
The event, billed as "Olympics and Web 2.0", and slated for February 17th, will showcase a pioneering cluster of British Columbia companies leading a shift towards Web 2.0 - what is being called the evolution of the Internet.
Vancouver-based Web 2.0 companies, Bryght and Raincity Studios, will lead sessions examining the emergence of citizen journalism and its anticipated impact on Olympic coverage and how podcasting is bringing a whole new sound to sport. Urban Vancouver bloggers will participate from Vancouver via a live connection.
