A transmedia track at a con

Ok - so i want to do a transmedia track at some con somewhere - a mix of people showcasing their transmedia work, workshops on how to do transmedia, and talking with people involved with transmedia....

If anyone reading this is involved in a con and would be interested, I am really interested, would work for peanuts and would love to do this - PLEASE CONTACT ME!!!! this would be so AWESOME - a meeting for fans and the little people - not the academics or industry people.......

---------- i just posted this elsewhere - feel free to spread around hehehehe

As transmedia/cross platform builds more and more, there are many meetings and workshops and academic and industry sponsered small conventions popping up to focus on this topic (take http://www2.tft.ucla.edu/RSVP/ for instance).

I was wondering if any of the more fan based conventions (big or small) have begun to add or considered offering a specific transmedia track or theme. Most of what is occurring right now is targeting academia and industry crowds and are not completely accessible to the average viewer/user/fan base. Yet - these are the very people that support transmedia stories - especially narratives designed for this format (as one characteristic of this type of deliver/story telling is more fan involvement).

Does anyone know if any cons out there have a transmedia track/theme, or might be considering it? I would love to work on, develop, organize, whatever something like this (a mixture of people showcasing their content, workshops on how to go about this type of narrative and meeting the people who work on these stories - just like the mix of topics and panels at a con).

I work for peanuts and the fun of the experience!!! :) But if anyone knows.... let me know!

Thanks
