On November 10 and 11, 2005, more than 100 people from a cross culture of industries ranging from entertainment, business, media, political, religious, education, finance, etc. gathered at the Vanderbilt Center for Better Health in Nashville, Tennessee to work on the following goals and mission.

The Mission: Many of us are not happy with how our culture is so heavily influenced in a negative way by much of our entertainment and media. We think there might be value in bringing a group of people together to explore whether there are things we can and should do to change this. The purpose of The Entertainment and Media Summit at Vanderbilt's Innovation Center is, therefore, to strategically gather entertainment, media, ministry and business professionals who desire to pool their knowledge, study the current landscape & impact that we are having on the world of entertainment and media, and then suggest a course of action for the future.
