First 25 Digital Kids Conference Speakers Announced

We are pleased to announce our first 25 speakers for the Digital Kids Conference (formerly Engage) taking place April 25-26, 2012 in Los Angeles. As you can see from the list below they hail from both the near and far corners of the media, entertainment and technology world. Each brings an expert voice to the conversation taking place in LA in April.  Click a speaker to learn more about them and what session they are speaking on. We are 90 days out and things are taking shape fast now.  The sparks and multicolored cloud you see pouring from the roof of the Digital Kids Conference factory is a byproduct of the friction created as we continue rubbing our brains together to bring you our best show yet.
