July 7, 2008--For years, filmmakers associated with the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival have sought to build collaborative partnerships with non-broadcast distributors. Meeting that demand, this autumn, from September 23rd to the 25th, the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science are co-presenting the first-ever conference that brings content creators together with media execs from NGO's, museums, parks, aquariums, zoos, and other public institutions.
 
As digital media becomes more accessible, even the smallest of these institutions can identify relevant applications--and can afford to put them in place. The appetite of this important distribution pathway is as varied as it is broad. From high-end, large format and 3D programming; to gallery installations and interactive kiosks; to handheld videopodcast and web-distributed media, the Jackson Hole Symposium will explore the latest technology applications as well as promote innovative opportunities for educational outreach in exhibits and on the web.
 
Held in downtown Jackson at the new Center for the Arts facility, the list of session topics is available online at www.jhsymposium.org. Registration opened in early June and space will be limited! For more information please contact Carrie Noel. A PDF of the symposium notice is available here.
