Don Marinelli gave the keynote speech at the recent International Conference

Carnegie Mellon News 8 1/2 x 11 News: August 3, 2006: "—Entertainment Technology Center (ETC) Executive Producer Don Marinelli gave the keynote speech at the recent International Conference for the Integration of Science and Technology into Society, hosted by the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology University (KAIST) in Daejon, Korea. He discussed how young people of the 21st century will be substantively different from preceding generations due to the influence of technology upon their growth and maturation. The four-day conference began in Daejon and then moved to Seoul for the remainder of the conference. Marinelli also participated in a panel session on the developing field of culture technology and served as an adjudicator for presentations of new culture technology ideas, products and potential companies crafted by student attendees of KAIST. 'The entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well in Korea and throughout Asia,' Marinelli noted after critiquing the pitches. The ETC plans to open a campus in Korea in the fall of 2007."
