I knew it would only be a matter of time that other industries saw the interactive digital media, new media, industry as a key ingredient for success in their own. Because digital media is everywhere, pretty much every company in some form utilizes the technology and services available and growing in digital media it does not surprise me that we are seeing more industries converging together to make one great and unique product.

TRLabs ‘Converged Digital Media’ Symposium will be the first of it’s kind to hit Manitoba where digital media meets the Telecommunication Industry. The Telecommunication industry has also grown to offer more then just phone service but also TV service too. This is where this convergence becomes interesting. Imagine building applications that will bring another medium of digital media to your television screen? To your PVR!

So you are in a meeting that already started later then you wanted it too and the meeting leader started taking dinner orders. Your now stuck at work all evening. Suddenly you remember it’s Monday and there is a game on TV (or the Bachelor) and you totally forgot to set your PVR  to record it.  If only you could use your smart phone to set your PVR from the office…

This is the kind of convergence the 2010 TRLabs Information & Communication Technologies Symposium exploring the theme of “Converged Digital Media” brings right to our doorstep. This kind of event is open to anyone and everyone who is in the digital media industry who is looking to do some different work and have an opportunity to explore new ways of their craft in a new medium.

With big names like Mary Barroll, a noted lawyer specializing in New Media, Duncan Stewart, Director of Research – Technology, Media & Telecommunications, Life Sciences & GreenTech at Deloitte Canada, and Derek Kuhn, Alcatel-Lucent VP of Emerging Technology & Media who are just a few of the many great speakers at this event.  Don’t miss this opportunity to get a terrific one-day immersion in the subject of Media Convergence.

So, keep February 24th open, talk to your boss about getting a group to go in order to take advantage of the discount and check out this great event to see what opportunities you can make for yourself in this great convergence project of technology meets well technology!
