Network Sponsorship

The AMC's Network Sponsorship program is an opportunity for the AMC community to invest in the success of the conference.

Here’s how it works: Your group reserves 10 conference registrations at the requested rate of $100 each by April 30, 2010 and you receive the benefits of our “Ally” sponsorship level as a bonus ($600 value). Reserve 20 conference registrations at the $100 rate and receive the benefits of the “Supporter” sponsorship level as a bonus ($1,000 value).

We introduced Network Sponsorship for AMC2009 and seven organizations took advantage of this plan. We want even more organizations to invest in the AMC through Network Sponsorship in 2010.

Contact us for details.

Propose a session for AMC2010

Since last Fall we have been working steadily to develop 14 visionary tracks for AMC2010.  These tracks are being coordinated by diverse networks who will use the AMC to deepen their relationships and forge alliances across networks, to showcase their current media-based organizing practices and to develop new ones.  Each track will have two to four sessions, with many sessions overlapping multiple tracks.  We invite you to submit a session proposal for AMC2010 that aligns with one of these tracks or is independent of these tracks. 

We are also interested in sessions related to Media Economies (cooperative economics, innovative distribution models, media-based economic development); the Future of Journalism (innovative business models, community-based journalism, emerging technologies); and Media, Education and Movement-Building (sessions designed by and for educators).

Our new studio

Allied Media Projects moved into a new, awesome studio! We have one of the classroom spaces in the Burton Center (in the former Burton International School building). One of the other projects in the building, the Burton Theatre, was featured in this recent New York Times article/video. The blackboard-lined walls make this is an ideal teaching space for us. Last week, we began using the new studio for a video production class for members of the East Michigan Environmental Action Council.

We are sharing the studio space with our close friends Detroit Summer and EMERGENCE Media.

Below are some pics of us working out of the new spot. Please note our new mailing address: ALLIED MEDIA PROJECTS, 3420 CASS AVE., STE #304, DETROIT, MI 48201.
