Peter Shankman, CEO of The Geek Factory, Inc. will moderate the session.

iMedia created the Breakthrough Summit in 2006 to tackle the full range of issues and opportunities marketers and their agencies are dealing with as they seek to employ "breakthrough" emerging media such as broadband video, mobile marketing, social networks, virtual communities and in-game advertising. It has become an exciting and unique iMedia event where both marketers and their agencies come together to collectively work on these opportunities.

This year's Breakthrough Summit will again, bring together the best and most active online marketers -- both brands and their agencies -- with online media sellers and technology service providers. The goal is to foster growth of effective campaigns integrating emerging media applications.
