Creative Industries

Purpose

The Community Outreach Seminar on Creative Industries aims to highlight the business and development of distributed computing for the sector through user case studies, document best practices, as well as pinpoint and evaluate requirements for standardisation.

Who should attend?

The target audience includes end users, developers and potential distributed computing adopters. Bristol is a note CI cluster in the UK with success stories from companies like Aardman Animations. The South West Regional Development Agency has published reports on sector growth in the region including CI indicating prospects through a SWOT analysis.

The event will be focussed at an audience interested in the subject of moving large data sets. This may attract interest not only in the creative industries sector, but also in the financial sector as well.

Expected Outcomes

The event will leverage on the work that is on going through the KTN network in the UK and will aim to raise interest and awareness within Digital communications, convergence and other communities to which OGF-Europe has access.
