Many of us consider speaking and workshop leading as part of our businesses, part of our professional work. That makes us quite different to someone who perhaps speaks once or twice a year, at conferences that have grown from a community they are active in. To try and gain wider insight I put a survey online, and I am so glad that I did. Over 200 people completed the survey, 168 completed it fully. They ranged from people who have spoken at a single conference up to 100 conferences in the last 12 months.
Otronicon also will collaborate for the first time with Indienomicon — a local independent gaming showcase group — to engage and inform the crowd about the indie game community. But in addition to new exhibits and shows, old favorites will return, as well, such as gaming competitions, EA Sports detailing the ins and outs of its game development and independent game developers participating in Otronicon's Game Jam event. The event also will feature powerhouse tech companies such as Lockheed Martin and entertainment groups like Walt Disney World Resort.
The event is a 3-in-1 formula – the combination of business Conference (Filmteractive Conference), content Market (Filmteractive Market), and digital art Festival (Filmteractive Festival). The event is organised by the Lodz Media Klaster Foundation, the Polish National School of Film, Television and Theatre in Lodz, and the Digital One interactive agency. The aim of Filmteractive is to create an ideal meeting place, where filmmakers, interactive directors, artists, marketers, and potential investors may network and exchange their professional know-how.
a trio of wearable-tech experts from across the spectrum of devices discussed the tech and the roadblocks to widespread use from consumers. Currently, there's still a challenge with getting the public to want to wear anything, let alone a smartwatch or activity tracker.

If you think about a diabetes tracker, that wearable serves a vital purpose for a niche of consumers.
