Heard of the Banana Conferences in Los Angeles? Those Asian American blogger meet-ups are back this year in a much bigger way. AAJA Los Angeles is presenting the V3 Digital Media Conference this weekend — and the world can watch and join the discussion.
The conference brings together digital journalists, bloggers and social media honchos for wide-ranging panels (sports coverage, nonprofits, food blogging, health coverage, fashion, workshops, anime, YouTube stars…). The one-day event is on Saturday, August 25, but the conversation has already started. Check out a video chat series with speakers including columnist Jeff Yang, Richard Lui of MSNBC and Disgrasian co-founder Jen Wang.
