Digital journalism pioneers and practitioners are to gather tomorrow at news:rewired, Journalism.co.uk's sold-out 10th anniversary event, for a day of practical advice and idea-sharing.

With more than 25 speakers from broadcasting, newspapers and online-only news outlets, the agenda covers social and multimedia, community collaboration and crowdsourcing, data-led journalism and making money from news.

Parts of the day are due to be livestreamed using a Ustream video facility; users should visit news:rewired.com at 10.30am to start watching.

In the morning, online users will be able to watch the keynote by George Brock, the head of City University London's journalism department. Immediately after this, a presentation on multimedia learning by Kevin Marsh, head of the BBC College of Journalism, will be live webcast.

In the afternoon, users can tune in from 15:45 - 16:00 to watch David Dunkley Gyimah, award-winning videojournalist and Southbank artist-in-residence; followed by a panel discussion on 'New journalism, new business models: how can journalism support itself online?' with an expert panel.

The event will also be tweeted and blogged by a team of City University London journalism masters students.

The BBC College of Journalism, one of the event's partners, is to film parts of the day and footage will later be made available online.

news:rewired sponsor Audioboo will be on hand to help delegates upload audio clips from their mobile phones.

Finally, Twitter coverage and commentary will be shared via a CoveritLive liveblog, which is available at this link.

"We're hoping this event will be as much about the online buzz as the actual day itself," said Journalism.co.uk founder and publisher, John Thompson.  

"We're urging all the delegates and speakers to participate in the back channel and hope all of those who couldn't make it on the day will also be able to contribute."
