The top names in the media industry convened on the Oswego State campus to discuss how new technologies and new generations are creating the media of the future.

The daylong event featured classroom visits and small discussions with panelists, highlighted by a panel presentation moderated by Al Roker '76 of NBC’s “Today” show.

This year’s panelists included Paul Condolora '82, senior vice president and general manager for Cartoon Network New Media; Russell Quy, vice president and executive producer of IMG Media; Geraldine B. Laybourne, founder, chair and CEO of Oxygen Media; Doug McMonagle, regional director of Inergize Digital Media; and Shelly Palmer, managing director of Advanced Media Ventures Group LLC.

The media summit was founded in 2005 by Louis A. Borrelli Jr. '77. This summer Al Roker '76 provided additional funding to help endow the summit in honor of O'Donnell, who was a mentor to both men.
