Media Circus 2011
This year we're inviting the people involved and nominated last year, as well as universities, digital and non-digital agencies as well as thought leaders and innovators to get involved in a follow up project focussing specifically on working with digital and non-digital together. We're partnering up with a host of different people to create and exhibit innovative ideas here in Birmingham.
Media Circus expects to reach tens of thousands of people involved in the digital and creative industries by engaging with it's partners at two two-day events and over the development of the project. In June we are exhibiting some of the very latest technologies for delivering digital content, including Augmented Reality, large multi-touch touch screens and glasses-free 3D. We are inviting collaboration between digital agencies, freelance individuals, non digital creative industries and university graduates to create content and ideas around the theme of using digital with or for non digital subjects.
