The CFC Media Lab and MaRS are co-presenting with Jumpwire Media to launch Cross Media Toronto on July 21st, 2010 at the MaRS Centre.

Cross Media Toronto (www.crossmediato.com) will feature heavyweight media industry executives discussing perspectives on how transmedia content will be produced, distributed and consumed in a cross media environment, specifically looking at ways to incorporate cross media into business models. Cross Media Toronto will focus on providing attendees with real tangibles on how to monetize cross media opportunities in the various sectors.

Scheduled events at Cross Media Toronto include a super panel of key cross media personalities, 3 demonstrations of emerging cross media technologies, two industry focused case studies and a debate on a pressing cross media issue of the day, all designed to give attendees a more direct and personal understanding of how cross media can be implemented successfully.

“We are excited about bringing the event to Toronto. The city has a vibrant start up community and Canada is one of the world leaders in cross media content creation.”

- Founder of CROSS MEDIA TORONTO Gavin McGarry

CFC Media Lab Alumnus, Rose Bianchini, will be speaking at INplay 2010 tomorrow, May 18 at 4 pm at Liberty Grand, in the Centennial Room, located on the Exhibition Grounds in Toronto.


INplay is a unique, international event that connects kids creative industries with insights and opportunities in the interactive space. From the video game business to the broadcast industry, from toys to toons, the INplay conference brings together leaders in the kids space to learn, network and be inspired by interactive.

The conference will feature 3 major streams each covering a different dimension of working with properties for kids aged 2-12:

    Inspiration - creativity and content stream
    Investment – business stream
    Insights – research stream

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!
