Subject: Our first mediaIDEAS Cabaret will focus on the digital, mobile, and social revolution in publishing and advertising/marketing. mediaIDEAS CABARET is for discerning (possibly even jaded) MEDIA PROFESSIONALS (& friends, investors, watchers) with curiosity, wit, imagination, and an UNQUENCHABLE THIRST for LIFE and the future of publishing and paginated media. Come join us for an evening of THRILLS, CHILLS, SPILLS, and A GLIMPSE OF THE FUTURE.

GASP as old business models and the publishing industry of yore GOES DOWN IN FLAMES! CHEER as you yourself WITNESS with your very own eyes and PARTICIPATE in REINVENTING the publishing TITANIC into the STARSHIP mediaENTERPRISE -- before we all end up in the drink.

The SEXIEST NEW TECHNOLOGIES, START-UPS, NEW NEW THINGS and IDEA MONGERS will be strutting their stuff, rubbing elbows, chatting up MEDIA WIZARDS and the occasional TITAN, FLIRTING with big rollers, tippling visionary E-LIXIRS. The mediaIDEAS Cabaret gives new meaning to SOCIAL MEDIA!

Cost: This event is FREE with an RSVP. HORS d’OEUVRES GRATIS. DRINK SPECIAL - Sangria for the price of an app or two. In THIS economy, in THIS industry, you can’t afford not to come.

Location: Macao Trading Company
From the team behind Employees Only, this Tribeca gem is one of Manhattan’s more dazzling settings. Dine in an exotic foreign correspondents’ club circa 1930s Macao, beneath langorously rotating ceiling fans and a caged catwalk overflowing with evocative East-meets-West port-of-call curios. One step through the door and you are transported to a smugglers' speakeasy in old Macao's "red lantern district". An inspired Chinese meets Portuguese menu offers great variety, and the cocktail menu rolls with the culinary theme, infusing the deceptively strong drinks with Asian delights.
