ALL ACCESS: The Digital Incubator a Success!

ALL ACCESS: The Digital Incubator was brought to you by On Screen Manitoba in partnership with New Media Manitoba.

Thank you to all the delegates who attended ALL ACCESS: The Digital Incubator! Without all of you there the event would not have been the same, it would have been less interactive.

For those of you who couldn’t make the event, we won’t let you miss out on what happened.

Keynote speaker Alexander Manu (Innospa International) kicked off the day with his presentation entitled ‘Current Media’ where he spoke about mediums as modes of individual action rather than channels, that allow individuals to create, manage and distribute content. The day was shared with four other speakers, Rochelle Grayson (Social Media, Social Gaming and Online Entertainment Executive), Mark Bishop (marblemedia), Ken Bautista (CIE: Seek Your Own Proof) and Norm Bolen (CFTPA). They covered everything from how to monetize digital media to creating a national digital strategy for Canada. The afternoon started off with a panel discussion moderated by Rogue Nation’s Ryan FitzGerald, featuring interactive digital media projects by Manitoba companies.

There were also many networking opportunities; including round table sessions with guest speakers. We also had ‘Trans-meetings’ where members of the interactive digital media community and film & television community met one on one in a speed dating style.

The day was enlightening, inspiring and groundbreaking. This was the first time our two associations (OSM & NMM) partnered on an event.

Speaker Topics Announced!

Alexander Manu,
Senior Partner & Chief Imaginator, InnoSpa International Partners

“CURRENT MEDIA” – The challenge of digital media for marketing communications is simply this: digital media is not a channel. Mediums are not channels; they are modes of individual action. Digital media, combined with mobility on a variety of networked platforms, is a way of life in which everything becomes media for the individual empowerment to create, manage and distribute content. How can individuals in organizations cope with this challenge? By reexamining their understanding of human needs and reframing them as what they truly are: desire, wants, and visions of a better self.  Provocative author, speaker and leader in the field of strategic foresight, Alexander Manu explains what motivates people and how desire is the driving force of the economy.  Manu proposes that there is no “New Media”: there is only current media – the instruments and agents we use NOW to actualize ourselves. As people are continually transformed by the media they use, the thriving organization is the one that sees “change” as the constant while seeing “business” as the variable.
