This Week:

Media Sandbox Showcase & Publication Launch

Just a reminder - last chance to book for this event:

Tuesday 20th October 2009 | 16:00hrs | Cinema 1 | Watershed, Bristol

The creative media industries are going through a period of rapid change.
The uncertain economic environment has made it harder to find the time and
space to dedicate to nurturing new ideas. The Media Sandbox development
scheme was set up to give new ideas a safe environment in which to grow.
Sandbox made six awards earlier this year, to innovative projects
researching emerging possibilities in multiplatform technologies. From HMC,
Drake Music and bibic¹s  multi-sensory environments for children with
additional learning needs to Indie Mobile¹s new music focused campaign tool,
all the projects respond directly to the challenges of modern society.

This event celebrates the achievements of those six commissions and will
include a showcase of all six, plus open discussion addressing the
challenges posed by multiplatform technologies. The event will also coincide
with a launch of a new publication that celebrates two successful years of
the Media Sandbox scheme and an exciting announcement about next years¹
scheme.

16:00hrs:
Project presentations and panel discussions with Nicole Yershon, Director of
Innovative Solutions at Ogilvy; Richard Hull, Researcher in Pervasive
Technologies at HP Labs; Mark Leaver, Director of Development at South West
Screen; and Clare Reddington, Director of iShed.

18:00hrs:
Evening Reception including informal demos of this years¹ projects and the
launch of the Media Sandbox Publication. Drinks and light bites will be
served.
