FITC // Storytelling X.1- I'm thrilled to bits with this day! June 20th Toronto - Come!

At a Glance

Digital Storytelling X.1 is a one day symposium exploring how digital technologies are changing forms of storytelling today.

New technologies are changing how we communicate at ever faster intervals. What the digital landscape will look like in 2015 or 2020 is anybody's guess.

As transmedia, cross-media and augmented reality raise the bar for how new stories will be told, how can new and experienced digital storytellers stay ahead of the curve?

Note: Seating is limited. Get your ticket early!

What's it all about anyway? Why should I go?

This day is about connecting today's best practices with future possibles and envisioning multiple ways that stories might be told. It will change the way you think, design and communicate.

Digital Storytelling X.1 brings together visionary thinkers and innovative trail blazers for an in-depth discussion of emergent trends, best practices, and inspiring projects, to sketch out ideas of where we may be heading next and how to make your projects part of those futures.

Who is this event for?

If you're a digital creative wanting to make the experience of your projects richer, more engaging and more immersive or if you're a film and/or tv content creator interested in working in the digital media industry, this day is for you, because slapping on a twitter feed or creating a character profile for your project is so last year's update.
