The Kansas City Institute for Media, Animation & Graphic Innovation in Education (KC IMAGINE) and KC Digital Drive are making plans now for their bi-annual career conference for KC area digital media academies. The conference is offered every other year to assure that Juniors and Seniors in academy programs will be able to attend the conference before they graduate.
SAVE THE DATE!
Instructors for digital media academy programs should save the date now for their Fall Semester calendars. Efforts are underway by KC IMAGINE to secure enough sponsors to eliminate any conference fees for students who want to attend. Here is the agenda planned for the conference:
AGENDA:
8:30 – 9:00 CHECK IN /REGISTRATION
9:00 – 9:25 WELCOME & OPENING SESSION Town Square Room
9:30 – 10:15 BREAKOUT SESSION 1
10:30 –11:15 BREAKOUT SESSION 2
11:30 –12:15 BREAKOUT SESSION 3
12:30 – 1:00 LUNCH Town Square Room
12:30 – 2:00 COLLEGE/CAREER FAIR Town Square Room
As with the very successful 2023 conference, students will be able to attend presentations by KC area digital media professionals from a wide range of occupations. Students will have several different options in each of three breakout periods during the conference. The conference will also feature a College/Career Fair from 12:30 – 2:00 p.m. Representatives from the digital media programs of about a dozen regional universities will host the career fair booths. This gives students a great opportunity to compare the college programs available in our region.
