Sign Up for the Programme ‘Early Bird’ Deadline: 31st August
Online Social Networking, Blogging, Internet Broadcasting and Viral Marketing For Culture, Media and Sport Businesses
Following the highly successful Digital Horizons programme, SEMN and its partners are now inviting individuals to sign up for its equally innovative successor – Digital Horizons 2012 - which launches later in the autumn.
The ‘Early Bird’ deadline for registration is 31st August. Details of the cost are provided below. The project is led by SEMN with our partners Skillset, Screen South and Wired Sussex who worked with us on the original Digital Horizons, and with Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication who are delivering the workshop series. The programme is supported financially by SEEDA (South East England Development Agency) and by in-kind contributions by the partners. It is run in association with the major sports, media and culture agencies in the South East of England.
Digital Horizons 2012 welcomes applications from individuals working in sports and cultural enterprises who have an online remit, and from freelancers and companies working in film, television, music, games, publishing and mobile content.
The course consists of 6 intensive workshops imparting specific technical skills including online social networking, blogging, internet broadcasting and viral marketing. It features 6 seminars based on culture and sports case studies where these companies, or organisations, have engaged online expertise to attract an audience or develop a customer base. It will launch in autumn 2008 and conclude in May 2009 with a wrap networking event.
Digital Horizons 2012 focuses on imparting the online skills, connections, contacts and intelligence which will enable culture, media and sport enterprises to maximise the online opportunities for engagement and business offered by the London 2012 Games. Download our flyer with further details.
A limited number of places are available so we would recommend early registration to avoid disappointment. For further information, including details of the content of the course, and to register, email digitalhorizons2012@semn.org.uk or call SEMN on 01753 639211.
The fees which apply are summarised below. The course provides a total of 15 days training, 6 workshops each of 2 days and 6 seminars each of half a day. The fee entitles one person to each of the 6 workshops and up to two people to each of the seminars. To allow for flexibility and to meet specific company requirements, a different person may attend each workshop.
In order to support environmental sustainability, a 10 per cent green discount applies where participants indicate they will walk, cycle or use public transport to attend all course events.
For 15 Days Training
Notes:
Company Size: Micro refers to freelancers, sole traders and companies, or organisations, with less than 6 employees; Small to 6 - 25 employees; Medium 26 -75 employees; and Large or Corporate to over 75 employees.
Subsidy: This programme is heavily subsidised: approximately 50% from SEEDA and 25% from in-kind contributions from the partners. Course participants therefore pay only 25% of the rate which would apply from a non-for-profit organisation, itself below the commercial rate.
‘Early Bird’ applies from 31st July to 31st August. ‘Late Bird’ applies from 1st September with the invite to apply closing on 19th September.
