Introduction and Panel #1 – Getting Your Feet Wired
A lively discussion from a diverse group of new media professionals about where to step in and how to play. From education to experience to flying by the seat of their pants, hear about what have others tried (and learned) to bridge the traditional and new forms.
Panelists: Bridget O’Neill, Dennis Chenard, Catherine Warren, Daniella Sorrentino
Moderator / Panelist: Danika Dinsmore
10:45 AM – 12:00 PM
Panel #2 – Social Media How To
‘Characters’ are becoming quite popular on social media platforms. They can help tell the story, allow for audience interaction, create ‘buzz’, and keep your fans talking. There are right and wrong ways to do this. Our panel of three social media savvy gals, with a history in broadcast, will explore the ‘effective’ and ‘destructive’ ways to use social media in your stories. They’ll also give you the low down on how to personally make best use of social media.
Panelists: Monica Hamburg, Carol Sill, Gillian Shaw
Moderator / Panelist: Erica Hargreave
12:00 PM – 1 PM
Break / Networking / interactive installations
1:00 PM – 2:30 PM
Panel #3 – Emerging Trends and Technology
The World of Technology is changing rapidly. As storytellers, we need to keep up and be apprised of new and emerging technologies, applications and platforms. Knowing what’s in the works allows us to use our creativity to utilize new technologies to tell stories and create ‘new media’. Find out from our technology, business and artistic experts about some of the new technologies available and what they see on the horizon.
Panelists: Thecla Schiphorst, Jean Hebert, James Eberhardt, Shannon McKarney
Moderator: Jennifer Ouano
2:45 PM – 4:00 PM
Panel #4 – Monetizing Your Content
What can you do to turn your digital content into dollars? How do people finance their new media projects? Every year, more people are doing it. Find out what has worked, what hasn’t, what others have learned, and how you can complement your more traditional media by thinking outside the box.
Panelists: Bradley Shende, Maura Rodgers, Amielle Lake, Rochelle Grayson
Moderator: Tracey Friesen
