The Mashable & 92Y UN Week Digital Media Lounge in partnership with the UN Foundation will offer a dedicated venue for on-line voices and bloggers during and after the summit on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) (20-22 September 2010). The aim is to make the conversations that will take place at the summit known to the world through:

• bringing together the collective of traditional and new media in one venue;
• presenting opportunities to view presentations, discuss and meet face-to-face with key leaders on important global issues with e.g. Skype interview facilities;
• providing unique content and discussions held outside of the United Nations;
• broadcasting major MDG Summit/UN Week presentations directly to 92Y;
• raising awareness of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs);
• discovering and encouraging solutions for the MDGs by engaging with on-line communities;
• showcasing solutions and innovative approaches;

The Lounge is open from 21 to 24 September to bloggers or journalists who are looking for an innovative way to cover the events of UN Week. For accreditation information, click here.
