Toronto's Digital Media Industry - Who Are We?
Tuesday, January 19, 2010 at Centre for Social Innovation
Event Information
When it comes to statistical data about the size and reach of the Digital Media industry in Toronto, we're sadly lacking. The economic profile of said industry in our fair city has been reduced to 2 small paragraphs and an even smaller table. To add insult to injury, the data presented is outdated. 5 years outdated, as a matter of fact.
How is it possible that Toronto, home to one of the most technologically-savvy communities in Ontario, nay, Canada can be so far behind in knowing who we are? How is it that cities like Vancouver, Calgary, and Winnipeg are taking the initiative to understand their industry and we're not?
If you have an interest in the future of our digital media industry, are employed in said industry in some capacity (production, management, etc), are interested in data and research, or have ideas on how to create partnerships and secure funding for such an initiative, you are invited to attend an open conversation on January 19th, 2010 at the Centre for Social Innovation. This session begins at 6:30pm with introductions and will then move on to answer the following question:
"As digital media workers, who are we? How can we work together to learn more about our industry?"
Bring your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions to the Centre for Social Innovation on the 19th, and help us begin the process of understanding who we are.
