Founded in 1995 by Dana & Denise Atchley the Digital Storytelling Conference & Festival immerses participants in the principles and practice of digital storytelling, from fundamentals of dramatic structure, voice, and pacing to the latest digital technologies and software tools. In this richly collaborative environment, participants learn from the top instructors and visionaries in the field, and network with peers who have made digital storytelling an essential tool for success.
"The festival is a rare bird in a world full of bland, sales-pitch-driven industry conferences; intimate and artistically diverse, it's both a showcase for new works of art and a think tank for thrashing out complex questions -- like who owns stories, who gets to tell them, why some stories work and others don't and what happens to a broadcast-dominated society when suddenly everyone is at least potentially a producer and distributor of media."
