Are you a story writer? A videographer? A software designer? A web designer? Are you an entrepreneur? If so, the Digital Storytelling Forum is your opportunity to learn about the future of this industry, how to do it and why. You’ll learn from local entrepreneurs doing really cool work in Kansas City and beyond. Meet other creatives looking to make their passion for digital storytelling into a business or solid career opportunity.
We’re bringing in Frank Rose, contributing editor for Wired, to talk about the future of Digital Storytelling. He’ll be showing you examples of where this industry is going.
We also hope to inspire participants to develop their own capabilities in digital storytelling as they learn more about this promising area for career and business development.
