Digital Storytelling Beyond Ebooks
With DPLAfest 2019 around the corner, we can't wait to connect with our community, participate in sessions, workshops, and conversations, and hear from an amazing line up of featured speakers. Here's a preview of what we have planned for the closing plenary on Day 1!
Digital Storytelling Beyond Ebooks
Digital text is just the beginning—audio, video, virtual and augmented reality, and other technologies are transforming the ways people are making, consuming, and sharing stories and knowledge. Hear from experts working at the forefront of these new approaches of play, publishing, and collaboration.
This plenary session will feature presentations on future digital storytelling platforms from Ryan Merkley, CEO of Creative Commons, Ashlyn Sparrow, Assistant Director, Weston Game Lab at the University of Chicago, and Katherine Maher, Executive Director of the Wikimedia Foundation, in conversation with Doron Weber, Vice President, Programs and Program Director at the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
Space is limited and there are less than 25 tickets left! Don't miss your chance to be in the room to hear from not only our amazing featured speakers, but also presenters from libraries, museums, universities, innovation labs, and publishers across the country!
