Empowering LA's Media Educators
Our annual Media Educators Conference (MEC), a multi-day, immersive event, draws approximately 100 educators from the Cal State system, LA County community colleges, and other colleges nationwide, to provide mentoring and training on the rapidly changing media landscape, current employment trends, and career development resources. Our goal is to keep these educators on the cutting edge of the entertainment business so that they can provide their students, the next generation of television leaders, with a state of the art education.
