The Creative Industries Innovation Centre is proudly sponsoring the Australian Association of Angel Investor's dinner event, titled "New Models, New Partnerships, New Experiences" on February 29th 2012 in Melbourne. The CIIC sees its support of this event as way of continuing to connect creative enterprises with the investment community.
This is a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs, creative industry students and budding entrepreneurs seeking content and competitive advantage in building new businesses.
For investors and champions of the Arts Community, Arts organisations, university staff and government policy makers, it is a unique opportunity to explore access to the arts through technology and boosting culture's contribution to society and the economy.
The convergence of technology, media, culture and business presents new challenges and opportunities. As our society becomes increasingly more visual, audiences and customers are correspondingly becoming fragmented. Our world is now governed by new currencies - time, social recognition and presence which are popularising and driving business growth.
The challenge increases to find the competitive edge and optimal business model to deliver revenue and economic benefit - the key outcome sought by financial investors as a return on their investment. This challenge provides opportunities for public-private partnerships to deliver significant cultural and social impact.
With this move to visualisation, the entertainment, games and on-line social media industries are demonstrating the importance of content, delivery channels, relevance and service in new business frameworks.
New models are emerging to enhance consumer and audience experience and realise higher levels of interaction and business activity.
But how do we go about finding and accessing content to ensure a competitive edge within a creative design context and deliver the economic return business, creative entrepreneurs and investors seek?
Feature film is one of the creative arts areas straddling culture, business, finance and mass audience, resulting in job creation and new spin-off opportunities.
Attend this event to hear from industry practitioners and thought leaders on how this paradigm change presents a significant opportunity for the Arts and Creative sectors to boost impact on society, business and the economy.
Key note speakers include international award winning film producer and director, Mario Andreacchio, and successful international games developer, Mitch Olsen (SmallWorlds). Mario and Mitch are joined by Hael Kobayashi as MC (Associate Director, Creative Industries Innovation Centre) and panelists in two sessions exploring the future of content development and distribution.
This event is organised by the Australian Association of Angel Investors as an adjunct event associated with its 2012 National Angel Investor Conference. The Creative Industries Innovation Centre & Smoorenberg Pini are event sponsors.
