The lovely folk from @DigitalksChelt invited me to give a 15 minute overview of transmedia in their September meetup and I repost it in blog from here for those interested(!)

#digitalkschelt is my local geekup and organised by @lizziefenwick @emilyevelina @intranetfuture @solutionmania @jealousdesign & @jkale

The room was made up of digital professionals – but no-one who was familiar with the word, with the ‘transmedia’ word.

So that meant I had to offer a definition. Problematic at first because I want quite a lot out of my transmedia, but it ended up being a good way to bookend the talk. In between I gave some examples of cool story stuff and some familiar transmedia ARG projects.

I began by with a general definition of my own and referenced google to find others

Take a look at the Immersive Writing Lab, 20th – 21st August 2011. It looks to me like the first UK event of its kind, priced reasonably enough for writers to attend. I really want to go but can’t make the dates. The speakers look great, including Julian McCrea who, as well as being the event organiser is already time-served in multiplatform entertainment and heads his London based company Portal Entertainment

I’m telling you right now that if you are a writer and you are interested in this stuff, you are unlikely to get a better introduction from better people. Book yourself in NOW – the price is ridiculous. [..]

So last week I was contracted as Workshop Coordinator for Cyfle in Cardiff and their multiplatform training course – ‘Digital Delta’. Focus of my role – “Find great speakers”…
