INplay is a unique, international event that connects kids creative industries with insights and opportunities in the interactive space.

The conference will feature 3 major streams each covering a different dimension of working with properties for kids aged 2-12:
Rose Bianchini has been selected to speak on an “Insights” panel for Cutting Edge Research: Input Devices. This topic will be addressed through a series of short presentations followed by a moderated Q&A.
The keyboard, mouse and headset are old school. What is coming next to improve kids’ interaction with the digital world?
Moderator: Steve Szigeti (Ph.D Candidate – Knowledge Media Design Graduate)
Other Presenters: Chris Muscarella (Cofounder at Do Crew) and Vincent John Vincent (President of Gesturetek Inc.)
Rose Bianchini prototyped Neighbourhoodie with David McCallum and Kathleen Climie during the Telus IAEP Fall Residency of 2009 at the CFC Media Lab.
Neighbourhoodie is a hoodie that combines the fun and dynamic of street games like ‘zombie tag’ with the technological experience space young people grow up with today, online or with computer games. The ‘Neighbourhoodie’ has the potential to motivate us to leaving not only the couch but the house by playing hybrid games that partly happen in the real world and partly in our all important virtual world.
Neighbourhoodie has been featured on top wearable electronics and gadget blogs, talk2myshirt.com and gizmodiva.com.
INplay is taking place May 18 & May 19. Tickets are still available!

Community Wind Web Conference May 26-27 Enables Investors, Entrepreneurs, Activists and Engineers to Learn Trends, Hear Practical How-to’s, and Exchange Experiences About Wind Power Projects – All in an Earth-Friendly Format
April 9, 2009 – More than 25 North American experts will discuss opportunities, trends and challenges related to community wind energy projects at a two-day web conference about community wind energy sponsored by Green Energy Web Conferences on May 26 and 27, 2009 (http://www.greenenergyconferences.com/ ).
The web conference is for people who are interested in learning more about community wind projects as well as for professionals already in the business wanting to keep up with this fast-changing alternative energy technology. “Community wind” denotes mid-scale, locally owned wind power projects designed to maximize the energy benefit to the community.
Presenters at the web conference include experts from organizations ranging from the American Wind Energy Association, Windustry and the World Wind Energy Association to the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Energy to Atlantic County Utilities Authority and Citibank Case-studies by Spirit Lake Community School. Jiminy Ski resort, Hyannis Country Garden and many more.
Issues to be discussed include:
• What does it cost to set up a wind project?
• Where can I find funding, government support, grants or other financing?
• How do Green Energy Credits and CO2 Emission rights work?
• What is the return on investment?
• How does the approval process – zoning, permits, etc. – typically work?
• How can I predict the amount of power that will be generated?
• How can I sell my project and energy to utilities?
• What have pioneering entrepreneurs in the field already achieved and learned?“When you include the savings from travel, hotel, and restaurant costs, a web conference costs only 10 percent of attendance at a traditional conference,” says Mathijs Gajentaan, CEO of Green Energy Web Conferences. “We’ve set it up interactively, so you can ask the speaker questions, browse the attendees’ profiles to see what they are doing and looking for, and connect with them. And if you can’t attend any of the live sessions, you can review the presentations at your convenience.”
