Non-Broadcast Media & Technology Conference
Symposium Wrap
In September, 2008, the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science teamed up to create the first-ever conference uniting content creators, web designers and tech support industries with media professionals from NGO's museums, zoos, aquariums, parks and other public institutions.
The debut conference was by all accounts, a success. There is a strong desire on the part of the museum and institutional partners to continue to create opportunities for collaboration and exchange, and we will be certain to incorporate an Institutional and Public Media strand in the 2009 Film Festival.
Special thanks to the generous sponsors who stepped up to underwrite the inaugural event. NASA's portable GeoDome provided Full Dome Planetarium programming for three days providing the participants and the local community with an extraordinary hands on learning opportunity. Premiere screening events with National Geographic (Monster Black Holes) and WNET/Nature (White Falcon, White Wolf) were programming highlights, as was the closing night celebration featuring an episode of Discovery's When We Left Earth in honor of NASA's 50th anniversary. A full slate of networking events were underwritten by Sony, Panasonic, Discovery, Fujinon and nWAVE. Many thanks to the local sponsors including Snake River Roasting, Bistro Catering, Spring Creek Resort.
