“Designing the creative Societies of the Future”

What will follow Web 2.0, Twitter, Facebook, Youtube & Co? The future of the creative industries will be characterized by a new exposure to digital media and social networks. Creative Industries Styria dedicates the Convention 2010 to the vision of “Creative Societies of the Future”, which will see the democratization of new creative tools and a metamorphosis of the creative work as well as its marketing. Defining its new key role in the course of this confusing process and actively co-shaping the future will be one of the leading objectives of the creative industries.
Cory Doctorow illustrates an inspiring and controversial image of the “Creative Societies of the Future” in his keynote-speech, followed by a talk with Steve Rogers (UK), Andrea Goetzke (DE) and David Sasaki (US) on the result of the three previous workshops on the topics “Creative Semantic Web“, “Design Commons“ and “Cloud Creativity”.
