International Film Festival on Social Media's Role in the Entertainment Industry
with Entourage Star: Adrian Grenier, MoboVivo President: Trevor Doerksen and

participated in mediamind Digital Experience Day in San Francisco the following
week. Visionary thought leaders such as Futurist Patrick Dixon, Mark Carlson -
SR Creative Director McDonalds Corporation and Dean Donaldson - mediaminds
Global Director of Media Innovation spoke on the changes to come in digital
media.
Engageia's Kent Speakman participated in a panel debate on the future of
Television and Apps with some of the brightest and well respected leaders in the
industry including Catalyst: SF's CEO John Durham, mediamind DG's SVP Amit
Rahav, Neoganda's Creative Director Matt Cooper, MediaSmith's CEO Dave Smith,
and Visible World's EVP Claudio Marcus.
Engageia also believes in giving back. In 2011 they donated time, consulting
advice and/or event awareness campaigns for NGO's and charitable organizations
such as Project Peace on Earth, Give Back Entertainment, Rick Hansen Institute,
Youville Residence, and GoPrintGo. This December they have teamed up with Edges
Salon, Redken 5(th) Ave, and Hollow Earth Media to support the same charity Matt
Damon and Adrian Grenier support, oneXone. The group is launching an innovative
campaign using QR Codes that are shaved into people's heads in conjunction with
