September 23 - 25, 2008. For years, filmmakers have been searching for the opportunity for direct interaction with the non-broadcast sector of the industry.

The media appetite of this important distribution pathway is as varied as it is broad. From high-end large-format and 3-D programming, to exhibit installations and interactive kiosks, to handheld video podcast and web-distributed media, museums, zoos, aquariums, parks and other public places present myriad possibilities for collaboration with NGOs, broadcasters and independent filmmakers.

New technology has rapidly expanded the potential for institutional media. As digital media becomes more accessible, even the smallest of these institutions can identify relevant applications-and can afford to put them in place. This autumn, when Wyoming is at its blazing finest, the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science are delighted to announce the first-ever conference to bring museum and media/technology stakeholders together! Join us, and be part of the first conference of its kind!
