Ready, Tech, Go!

Fostering startups in the media, entertainment, games and creative industries.

The role technology is playing in shaping the Australian media and entertainment landscape is the subject of a thought-provoking panel at next month's Vivid Festival.

Four speakers from TV and film production, marketing, distribution and the startup sector will debate the role of media and creative technologies at this year's Vivid Ideas Exchange, held at the Museum of Contemporary Art.

Together speakers Chantal Abouchar, Paul Wiegard, Chloe Rickard and Peter Drinkwater represent three generations and decades of experience as practitioners, business founders, entrepreneurs and creatives.
