Fresh Media Forum

On Saturday October 24, 2009, FreshMedia will be hosting a one-day forum to re-imagine media and celebrate innovation in the 21st century. We will bring together media innovators, artists, citizens and the online community, and provide an engaging, generative and interactive space where we can create media together. Our ultimate goal is to inspire, inform, motivate, share practices and skills and create visions and practices for moving media forward.

This unconference-style event will involve several elements, all happening at once in an exciting, collaborative cacophony of creation and idea-sharing!

Our opening speaker is Sudha Krishna! Sudha is the news director at
NowPublic. In the past has worked as the senior producer of the CBC’s
ground breaking award winning cross platform TV show – ZED.
