Introducing the AMC2010 Track Development Process Help sustain Allied Media Projects: CLICK HERE TO DONATE Every year following the Allied Media Conference (AMC), tons of ideas for new tracks emerge. In the past, Allied Media Projects (AMP) staff have coordinated several broad tracks at the AMC: Youth; INCITE!; Media, Education and Movement-Building; Policy; How-to and Kids. This year we want to break those large, general track categories into smaller, self-organized tracks (each one hosting 2-4 sessions at the AMC). We want the process of organizing an AMC track to support year-round collaboration between organizations and individuals in the AMP network. Our goal with this new structure is to de-centralize the AMC content-development process and to grow the AMP network's ownership and management of the conference. Guidelines for proposing a track
Timeline November 23rd, 2009: Deadline to submit an AMC2010 track proposal Track proposal form The online form will be available at www.alliedmediaconference.org later this month. These are the questions it will ask:
FAQ Can you give an example of what a track would look like in this new structure? Here's one: There are groups all around the country using media to organize for immigrant justice in Spanish-speaking communities. Five of these organizations identified the need for a Spanish-language track at the AMC, where these groups can share skills and strategies and build alliances with other networks of media organizers. They created a website to communicate with each other throughout the year and develop a vision for the track. Over the next year they will assess the media training needs and resources of their communities to determine the most useful and innovative skill-shares and strategy sessions for the track. They will hold fundraiser/outreach events to mobilize their network to participate in AMC2010. If I don't submit a track proposal now, will I still have an opportunity to submit an individual session proposal later in the year? Yes. We will do a call for session proposals in the early Spring of next year. Do the organizations collaborating on a track proposal have to be in different locations? No, but the more geographically-diverse network of folks involved in a track, the better. Can I call you to talk about my ideas for a track and ask other questions? Please email info@alliedmediaconference.org to schedule a phone or Skype meeting. Or email us with questions or ideas. |
