The evolution of entertainment has brought about a diverse range of products, technologies, education streams and opportunities. Digital Entertainment is the frontier to a new method of delivering entertainment, holding no boundaries and limited only to the imagination of the creators, the innovators and the talented people working to bring music, games, film, television, video and other content to a global, digitally connected, audience.
To support the growth in this sector the creator's of the eGames & Entertainment Expo have expanded on their enormous success by announcing the International Digital Entertainment Festival (iDEF™) which will retain the spirit of eGames and expand it to encompass Digital Entertainment in it's entirety.
To be held in Melbourne in November 2008, iDEF™ will include events and activities that cater for a wide range of interests.
iDEF™ '08 Symposium and Expo will be held at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre, Southbank, during mid-November (13-16) with other activities and events occurring during the festival around Melbourne and Victoria. Further details and schedules will be available soon.
