Springsessions 2011
Conference for electronic art, technology & design, June 2nd - 4th 2011 in Graz, Austria

Visual artists, creative directors, programmers, filmmakers, social experimenters, cultural researchers; 12 digital innovators from all over the world will come together for the inaugural edition of Springsessions. They are among the brightest minds of the moment, and their work is already changing the media landscape as we know it.


Topics will include digital art and interactive design, brand storytelling and new media, virtual environments and user experience architecture, creativity and collaboration, improvement through innovation, and much more.

From digital experts to curious cats, we welcome you all; whether you want to exchange knowledge, keep on top of latest trends, or just have an interest in new media and creative industries, there's a bit of something for everyone at Springsessions. Come to be inspired and meet like minded souls in a relaxed, creative environment – and let's be honest, the after conference parties are pretty good as well!

Springsessions will be taking place during springfestival in a specially adapted intimate environment. Location, schedule and more presentations will be announced shortly. The programme will kick off at 15.00 and finish at 20.00, with each session taking around 1h plus 15 min breaks in between.
