Perth to host XMediaLab 2011
The digital media conference XMediaLab will reach Perth in 2011, with the theme Storytelling in a Digital Age and focusing on how to tell a 21st century story, get it produced and reach an audience.
The event director, Megan Elliott, said that Western Australia’s relationship with Asia gives it a unique place to become a global centre for digital media.
Elliott and XMediaLab co-director Brendan Harkin will be in Perth for a free briefing session on August 13, at the Art Gallery of WA, Perth Cultural Centre. rsvp@screenwest.wa.gov.au
