Visual Media Conference pioneers a new format for online events

A 3-day programme with planned breaks to let participants carry on with their day-to-day priorities and a TV Guide for participants to choose from live keynote speakers, panel discussion and pre-recorded content.

Sustainability through Innovation is making sense of the new world with over 30 world-class speakers from the UK, across Europe and the US.

A journey, exploring key topics, including the arguments for why and how brands need to innovate and stay sustainable, and what this could mean for your business as well as the environment. This antidote to Zoom exhaustion includes a demonstration by ‘Mesmerise’ of meetings attended as avatars in virtual worlds as well as words of wisdom from US guru, Frank Romano.

The essence of VMC is a forum for the creative and digital industries to see and share the latest thinking on how brands are re-imagining their presence and profiles with war stories from speakers working with ASDA, DFS, Nestlé and Bugatti.

Robert McClements, curator of VMC & President of CDI comments: “After 7 years of rapid growth we have broken free of geographic boundaries – into the online world. Generous sponsors and partners like DMA have made it possible to bring the very best informed speakers – it’s our contribution to the creative and digital industries and it’s still free.”

VMC 2021 is the 8th annual conference organised by BPIF with CDI in conjunction with BOSS and founding partners Precision Proco and Creative Race.
