Dear Colleague

I'm writing to draw your attention to what looks to be a conference
being held at the University of Toronto in honour of the Marshall
McLuhan centenary.  It would be great to see you there.  It certainly
promises to be a great event.  The organizers have assembled an
amazing roster of speakers and events.

Please also distribute this information to any students, colleagues,
or others who might be interested.

More than fifty years ago, writing from a modest outbuilding at the
University of Toronto, Marshall McLuhan gave voice to a vision that
transformed the globe: a society enmeshed in media, everywhere
connected, culturally configured by mediating technologies of
information and communication.

is hosting the first international McLuhan conference and festival:

  -- 100 leading thinkers and speakers from around the world
  -- 300 art installations, concerts and screenings
  -- Explosive and insightful debates
