2016 Explode Conference
Within the digital creative sector, there are designers, programmers, photographers, technicians, content creators and more. It’s not often these different industry professionals have the chance to collaborate and/or form partnerships. So a local London group decided to change that to encourage idea sharing on a larger level.
Explode Conference, hosted by Fanshawe College and UnLondon Digital Media Association, will be held on May 5th and 6th, 2016 at Fanshawe’s Centre for Digital and Performance Arts, located at 137 Dundas Street in London, Ontario.
The conference gives the digital creative community a chance to converge and share and provoke, enabling the intersection of entrepreneurs, designers and developers. It allows designers, authors, artists, developers and other creative minds a chance to congregate outside of their disciplines and interact with the creative community across Southwestern Ontario.
“Your ideas and passions are ready to launch – let’s make them explode!”
