Austin Studios plays host to the first Digital Media Council meeting of 2008. A non-profit devoted to expanding the digital media talent pool, the DMC invites educators and industry folks to attend its quarterly meeting. From video game production to web development, interactive marketing to educational software, the DMC spearheads numerous events for the creative technology community throughout the year, including:
* Hosting accredited training in Java, 3D modeling, and game design for high school teachers;
* Convening executive summits for university provosts, deans and chairs to meet industry leaders and tackle the need for more digital media degree programs;
* Placing speakers in secondary and post-secondary classrooms; and
* Programming a nuts-and-blots primer on funding and launching a digital media start-up.
All are welcome to the DMC’s next meeting, Monday, February 11, noon — 2:00 pm, in the Austin Studios’ conference room, 1901 East 51st Street. Lunch is provided. We’ll take a short tour of the film studios and set to work on planning our 2008 initiatives. Please RSVP to Kristy Bowden, kbowden@skillpointalliance.org
