Mediasmiths is announcing the third installment of our popular informal media/media technology get-togethers. WIG3 will be held in Bristol on December 8th. The venue is:
Engineers' House
The Promenade
Clifton Down
Bristol
BS8 3NB
As those of you that have attended WIG before will know, the idea of the day is to get practioners together, network and talk about real issues and real experience - it's not a vendor event, and there are no big sales messages - just a friendly atmosphere. Again, as regulars will know, we do like to run a couple of themed sessions, each of an hour or so during the day to get the debate and discussions going and give attendees the ability to be introduced to some of the folks that they don't know! The themes that we've picked out for WIG 3 are Collaboration and the Cloud; and simply The Budget Squeeze.
Rough agenda for the day is as follows:
| 10:00 | Coffee | |
| 10:30 | Welcome | |
| 10:40 | Session One - Collaboration and the Cloud following the DPP report | |
| What does the production/post market really need? | ||
| How do collaboration (as opposed to production) tools and services fit in? | ||
| 12:30 | Lunch | |
| 14:30 | Session Two - The Budget Squeeze | |
| How is this affecting the production community? | ||
| How low can you go and still maintain acceptable production values and delivery quality? | ||
| 17:30 | Finish |
Drinks and follow-on conversations in the bar, and for those able to stay, we'll be hosting dinner and continuing discussions. We're also hoping to launch the WIG community website at WIG3 - and get your feedback on what it should include.
Joining us on the day to show off their latest developments will be our friends and WIG co-founders, Object Matrix, plus Vidispine and Adobe.
If you're interested in attending WIG, please RSVP to Michelle Parker as soon as you can. We look forward to seeing you in Bristol.
