New Media at the Digital Arts Expo

This week I had the pleasure of presenting a seminar about 'New Media' at the first ever Digital Arts Expo locally (MIDA 2008). The seminar explored successful new media initiatives taking place globally within Vodafone companies and why digital media players such as MySpace and Yahoo are teaming with Vodafone.

Apart from the Vodafone seminar there were a number of very good seminars / workshops:
Allied Newspapers shared their redesign of their daily and weekly newspapers;
A number of seminars / workshops related to Apple's range of products (Final Cut, iLife, etc.)
A selection of practical seminars related to the printing industry (Metal FX, Canon)

Other highlights at the expo were the Digital Artist Gallery Zone and the Advertising Agencies Gallery Section. A Mac Lab was also set for attendees to get their hands dirty on one of the 25 iMac on show.

In one of my future posts I plan to draw up a wish list of what BLAB wishes to see at next year's expo.
