Ent-Tech Atlanta - Day 4 (Innovation & Discovery Expo)

-
Day 4 (Innovation & Discovery Expo)
(Activity Schedule and Complete Event Details)
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3 - 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Location: TBD

Saturday turns toward innovation and the changing landscape of entertainment and storytelling.

A series of interactive presentations will connect audiences directly with innovators, entrepreneurs and thought leaders working across entertainment, technology, and storytelling.

Saturday will draw from the Alma Film Festival’s expansive global ecosystem of more than 150 stakeholders across 42 countries, bringing together innovators, entrepreneurs, technologists, filmmakers and thought leaders through both in-person and virtual participation. That network gives Ent-Tech a distinctly global perspective, connecting emerging ideas and technologies in Atlanta with voices, experiences and innovation from across the United States and the Global South.

Ent-Tech is intentionally designed around interaction and discovery rather than a traditional trade-show experience.

Participants will have opportunities to engage directly with technologies, ideas and their creators while exploring how emerging tools are changing the ways stories are conceived, produced, experienced and distributed.

Futurist, filmmaker and creative technologist: Anatola Araba

Rory Walker | Urban Scenez

Its model is designed to help independent creators move beyond simply releasing content toward building audiences, monetizing their work, and growing the long-term value of their intellectual property.
