>play : the Berkeley Digital Media Conference will be taking place Saturday, November 18th at the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley. This year’s panelists include Lane Becker, Ryan Freitas, David Hornik, Micki Krimmel, Michael Arrington, Evan Williams, Brian Zisk, John Furrier, Ross Mayfield and many others. Here’s the full schedule and event FAQ.

>play is a unique annual event that brings together creative professionals, industry leaders, and students to discuss the emergence and implications of the digital lifestyle. Participants are exposed to new ideas and have the opportunity to connect with key thinkers in digital media. Driven by Berkeley’s legacy of creativity and its emergence as a center of digital media technology, >play combines creative and consumer viewpoints to spark countless ideas for growth and new product development.

Like last year, the organizers of >play are offering the Laughing Squid community four free passes to the event. All of the free passes have been given out, but you can still register for the event at the normal rate.
