The Joan Ganz Cooney Center's 2011 Leadership Forum took place at USC's School of Cinematic Arts on May 16-17, 2011.

We had an amazing lineup of speakers and panels of leaders from the creative media industries, education, research, policy, and philanthropy, interactive sessions, and performances guaranteed to be exciting and productive opportunities to think about new roles for media in propelling social and educational change in and outside of school.
