Digifest 2011 wraps up!

Amazing speakers, exciting demos, and enthusiastic audiences – Digifest 2011 was a vibrant celebration of the world’s best and the brightest in digital innovation and creativity.

At the heart of this year’s Digifest re-launch was the concept of convergence. It was wonderful to see that concept take shape at each event.

Digifest brought together an incredibly diverse line-up of speakers and presenters. They touched on topics ranging from gaming, art and design, interactive and mobile media, architecture, education, simulation technology, and more. Though the topics were diverse, through each talk ran a common thread: passion for the digital industry and unwavering optimism for its future.

To our inspiring and innovative speakers and presenters, to our partners and sponsors and their crucial support, to our engaged and thoughtful audience members and attendees, thank you for being a part of Digifest 2011. We couldn’t have done it without you.
