You are warmly invited to attend the 2nd event of the new Multidisciplinary Seminar Series 2012/13 ‘Creative Digifest SXSC 2’ on the 11th October, brought to you by the Digital Economy USRG.
Come along to our one day interactive conference to find out more about the pioneering interdisciplinary projects already underway at the University of Southampton and join the discussion about whether digital technologies will change our lives.
How are digital networks transforming our lives? What can the latest technologies do for you? If you’re not online, are you out of the game?
Keynote address by author Andrew Keen.
Thursday 11 October 2012 | 9.30- 5pm | Garden Court, Highfield Campus.
• World leading speakers
• Demonstrations of the latest technologies
• Panel debate and discussion with digital experts
• Free workshops and ‘unconference’ networking sessions
Technology sceptic and author Andrew Keen will provoke debate in his keynote address by predicting future developments and challenging assumptions that the Internet is always a force for good.

After lunch explore your own areas of interest through workshops, demonstrations and one-to-one networking with experts in a wide range of digital technologies.
