If you have been following our activities in April you will seen media140 hosting two concurrent events 15,000km apart: our three day digital festival in Perth, Australia and our journalism workshops at the International Journalism Festival. It’s been a busy month for us!
media140 will be participating in the ‘Statistics Extension Workshop’ at Idescat, Barcelona on the 18th May 2012 – curating the workshop entitled “The New Data Journalism” and presented by a former media140 speaker Carlos Alonso.
media140 will be heading to Red Innova in Madrid – 14th and 15th June for the international gathering on innovation, internet, creativity and entrepreneurship. It’s a leading digital event exploring how digital is changing society and a great opportunity to ‘network’ and meet international leaders in technology, innovation and the Internet.
We asked our local Western Australian video team to produce a 90 second sizzle reel from the DigitalBusiness and DigitalMe events we recently held in Perth on the 26th, 27th and 28th April this year. We were after something that captured the essence of the events – a fast paced, whistle stop tour of every aspect of the experience.
For those of you who were lucky enough to make it to Perth, Australia for our recent three day digital event you would have noticed the LivePad41 team requesting you to tag your tweets with #lp41 or send an SMS with a few thoughts about the event.
media140 will be hosting two bespoke ‘Social Business’ workshops for ESADE, 13th and 14th May 2012 at their main university campus in Barcelona. The workshops are designed to compliment ESADE MBA curriculum and provide undergraduates with an in-depth and practical approach in ‘Social Media and Content Marketing in Business’ and ‘Future Trends in Digital and Social Business’.
In an age of overwhelming abundance of data, journalists and media organisations are learning to separate signal from noise in order to provide valuable insights to society. From the Guardian to the New York Times, La Stampa to Die Zeit, journalists and media organisations are experimenting with new ways of using data to improve reportage of complex issues and to give readers direct access to the sources behind the headlines.
We’re heading back to Perth in Western Australia in April to partner with the City of Perth and The West Australian to host a unique three day digital event: the first of its kind in Perth. We’ll be exploring three big themes DigitalBusiness, DigitalMe and DigitalFamily over the 26th, 27th and 28th April.
Laurel Papworth, named in 2012 by Forbes magazine as one of the 50 Social Media Influencers globally, will be hosting two half day courses at DigitalMe on the 27th April in Perth. The social media workshop will give anyone looking to step into the digital world of Twitter, Facebook, blogging and social bookmarking a solid framework and set of strategies. The workshop is being held as part of the media140 three day event and you can register online.
In April 2011 we successfully produced our first ever event looking at the use of digital and social technologies in science communication hosted at the Brisbane Powerhouse. A year on we have again partnered with the Australian Government Department of Industry, Innovation, Science, Research and Tertiary Education to launch a new digital science event – science [rewired]
