NM Media Industries

NM Media Industries Conference III (Friday, February 2nd @ UNM)

Since the inception of NM Governor Richardson's Media Industries Strategy Project (MISP), New Mexico's media industries have seen tremendous success. Between income from visiting productions, new studios being built and more local content than ever before, New Mexico is firmly positioned to realize its potential in this exciting sector. Over 300 attendees came together for updates, identifying challenges, and building the connections necessary for sustainable growth. (Friday, February 2nd @ the UNM Student Union Building | 8:30 - 5:00 PM)
