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 – sciencerewired.
For those of you who missed or were unable to attend the DigitalBusiness event we recently hosted in Perth, Australia – we have picked out a few of the keynotes from the opening event on the 26th April in this post. We’ve also collated the majority of the speaker slides from across the three days, and if we’re missing one you particularly wanted to see – please let us know!
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.
