Millennials Conference

Music Stardom Sure Ain’t What it Used to Be

Authored by Scott Goldberg on April 25, 2007 - 11:57am.
Musician's Den? At The Millennials Conference last week an attendee texted a comment to our Mozes screen during the music panel that said, “In the future, musicians will make as much money as potters.”  It offered an interesting juxtaposition to a group of industry executives discussing the ways they’re making – and will continue to make – money in the New Media age.  The image stuck: Musicians as potters.  It doesn’t quite fit…but then again, it’s easy to understand.

Millennials Conference: What are 18-24 Year Olds Doing Online?

Authored by LeeAnn Prescott on April 19, 2007 - 1:08pm.

Yesterday I spoke at the the Millennials Conference in Los Angeles. I talked about some websites that have a high concentration of users in the 18-24 age group, and are enabling users to share content beyond the usual activities on social networking sites. 18-24 year-olds make up 19% of the adult online population, and based upon their website preferences, are much more interested in creating and sharing content than the average online user.

How Much Time Do Millennials Spend on MySpace & Facebook?

Authored by Scott Goldberg on March 12, 2007 - 12:17pm.
College socializing 2007 As part of DMW’s Millennials Conference April 18th we’re making a documentary about the Millennial generation (roughly defined as age 15-25) with Victorhouse Films.  We made UCLA our first stop for interviews, partially because the conference will be on its campus, and partially because its students, located in LA, are among the most exposed to digital media.  As a disclaimer, I am not, nor have I ever been, a MySpace or Facebook user.  And what I found in our student interviews is that never, in my life, have I been so out of touch with a pop culture phenomenon.
