A few weeks prior, I published a summary of DigitalMediaCamp, along with details about a few sessions I led discussing the lack of data surrounding Toronto’s Digital Media sector.
Since then, a conversation has been convened at a high level with various organizations in Toronto and the GTA, and our next steps have been determined.
While this announcement is being posted to the Refresh Events blog, note that this is not a Refresh Events-led initiative; it is one of a personal interest outside of the realm of our mandate.
With this in mind, I am now prepared to open the conversation to the digital media community in Toronto (and beyond).
The question we are asking is:
As digital media workers, who are we? How can we work together to learn more about our industry?
I’d like to personally invite you to our Google Group to help us chart the direction for this initiative over the coming months. If you have an interest in the future of our digital media industry, are employed in said industry in some capacity (production, management, etc), are interested in data and research, or have ideas on how to create partnerships and secure funding for such an initiative, we would love to hear your thoughts on how we can begin the process of determining the size and scope of our industry.
