The Media Festival in Manchester was a great success. As well as observing the event for this project, we made some useful contacts for our future careers also. The 3 day event consisted of a 'welcome' day where everyone who has been to this event before can catch up and also to discuss the following events of the festival. The second day was more about the seminars and workshops on the business of the media industry and the problems facing the media, such as cuts to funding, universities and the danger of the media industry in Britain shrinking because of these cuts. The third and final day was similar to the second, however this day only lasted until 2:30pm whereas the second day lasted until the evening.
After observing this event, it has given us some insight as to how our hypothetical event could be set out. Due to the event in Manchester being mostly about talks on the media industry, the showcasing of technology for our event will prove to be more interesting for those who are technical and practical minded. Also the breaks for TMF'10 where catered for as well as lunch so perhaps this could be something we could include.
The registration for TMF'10 was very quick and easy as the name badges for the event were laid out on the table and all we had to do was say who we are, pick up our badges and head to the bar/restaurant to await the first seminar. This has been taken into consideration for our event also.
