Digital Advisory Day

Nesta ran a Digital Advisory Day at Dovecot Studios in Edinburgh on 28th November 2012 for arts organisations and technology companies considering applying to the second call of the fund.

The day included some short presentations and a panel Q&A with Nesta; Fund recipient Glasgow Film Theatre; and also representatives from Creative Scotland's other digital development initiatives: Sync and AmbITion. Four digital specialists also talked through their work before breaking out to one-to-one sessions.


Following the presentations, participants were invited to share their details to encourage new potential collaborations across the sectors; we have made this information and contact details available here with participants' consent.
