Title: Sedona Conference, Education & Digital Media, Dublin, Oct 2002

Dear Colleague,
 
The 6th Sedona Conference on the convergence of education, entertainment and technology will take place in Dublin on 24-26th October. The theme of this international conference is "The Creative Process - Demystifying Digital Media". The planned initiatives in Dublin's Digital Media District are among the main reasons the Sedona conference has moved here from the US for its autumn event.  The conference website is http://www.digitalmediaintelligence.com/sedona.html
 
The tone of the conference will be high-level knowledge sharing about technology and education with discussion on where creativity comes in to the equation. Dr. Edward de Bono will be the key note speaker, and many other international speakers are confirmed from Europe, the US and the UAE. Conference themes include education without borders, learning to bridge the digital divide, creativity in the digital age, etc.The full programme is available on the conference website.
 
We are expecting about 150 high level participants, including many from the US, including leaders in higher education, together with business people and others from the digital media and entertainment sectors. It is our intention that Irish government representatives and senior executives from the Digital Media District will also be there to ensure a unique opportunity for exchange and learning.
 
Since its inception the Sedona conference has attracted nearly 500 participants from 17 countries and reflects the growing need for educators and college leaders to understand more about the digital world and its impact not only on students but on the way that colleges will function in the future. The last Sedona conference in the US in April brought together chancellors and presidents of major colleges from many States including Arizona, North Carolina, Alaska and Kansas. Industrial sponsors in the US have included Motorola, Fox and Miramax. 
 
The Dublin conference is a joint venture between the Sedona Conference & Conversations Inc., the Edward de Bono Foundation and Digital Media Intelligence. The event has a loyal following and we are hoping to attract significant interest from education institutions, training organisations and research centres in Europe. Registration is now open on the conference website and a number of sponsorship opportunities also exist. We would very much appreciate any efforts you can make to publicise the conference website and promote the event among your colleagues. 
 
I look forward to seeing you in Dublin.
 
Regards
 
Kieran O'Hea
