Digital Media Day
The day is designed to be an interactive event that creates a genuine opportunity for all to share their knowledge/experience.
We will bring together representatives from film, TV, video games, animation, VFX, mobile & wireless and interactive marketing to learn about the differences and commonalities between sectors, about product development through collaboration and opportunities for innovation, growth and profit.
Target Audience
Creative Directors, Developers, CEOs, Entrepreneurs, Directors, CTOs
Format
There will be keynotes to start the morning and then the audience will break out into smaller sessions. There will be 8 stations/discussion topics of about 45 minutes each. That means that in the day, folks will hit 4 of the 8 topics (ie audience is free to choose which 4 they would like to visit). At the end of the day, we will return to the big group and share top 3 discussion points from each of the 8 stations.
