Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival – Save the Date for the Symposium

September 20 - 22nd at Denver Museum of Nature & Science

From high-end large-format and 3-D programming to exhibit installations and interactive media, museums and cultural institutions present great opportunities for collaboration with broadcasters and filmmakers. Join the brightest minds in the industry for an inside look at advanced technologies and emerging trends in public media. With three full days of provocative panels, immersive workshops and casual networking, stimulating ideas converge and new alliances will form. This may be the most fruitful networking opportunity of the year.

The Wildlife Film Festival is currently soliciting session ideas and innovative presentations for the 2010 Symposium.

To review sessions covered in previous events, please refer to our website, www.jhfestival.org.

Scientific and cultural organizations like zoos and museums are full of stories just waiting to be told, and are magnets for people eager to learn about our amazing world. If our organizations join forces with talented filmmakers and other media professionals, we will be able to extend our reach and touch our audiences in exciting new ways.
~Dave Noel, Vice President of Operations,
Denver Museum of Nature & Science

I have yet to attend a Jackson Hole event without returning fully equipped with new ideas, projects and contacts. The Symposium is not to be missed.
~ Ellen Windemuth, CEO, Off the Fence Productions

At the channels where I've worked, I've been an early adopter of new technologies in order to future proof our investments in programming and get the jump on the competition.  Some people give me credit for being prescient with HD, CGI and 3D.  I tell them it is the Jackson Hole Symposium that deserves the credit. 
I saw it all at Jackson Hole first.
 
~ Steve Burns, Executive Vice President of Content,
