September 23rd, 2008National Digital Media Day is this Thursday, and it’s cool
On September 25th, across the country, thousands of interactive digital media professionals will voice their vision for the future of Canada’s creative economy. As a part of the first-ever National Digital Media Day, professionals working in everything from videogames to elearning companies are gathering to share ideas on how to strengthen Canada’s digital media sector amidst growing global competitiveness and the imminent federal election.
There are a ton of great events happening coast to coast, so there’s no excuse. Get out there! (And while you’re at it raise a wistful glass for fast pipes and open access).
Vancouver: New Media BC AGM and mixer, National photo walk with Kris Krug (and a barcamp 2 days later)
Calgary: DemoCampCalgary10, Sept 25
BarCampSaskatoon08 at the cellar
Winnipeg: New Media Manitoba keynote with Robert L. Peters
Toronto: Kensington Market block party, featuring demos of a 3D digital graffiti tagging system and a Skype megaphone, as well as a writing for digital media event at 1028 Queen Street West
Anyone, at specific times across the country will also be taking part in the mobile mass mob KISS event, where folks from across the country will pucker up in busy intersections, take mobile pictures of themselves and post to a montage site that will later be screened on a big screen in Vancouver that night.
