This year our keynote speaker and a number of sessions will focus on the theme of digital storytelling. Simply put, digital storytelling refers to a social movement to use computer tools to help everyone share their life or family stories. As such, digital storytelling takes many forms. In Minnesota, creative technology-driven people have been at the forefront of applying a documentary approach to new media and technology platforms to tell those stories. From immersive media installations to learning games, from storytelling on the web to interactive computer kiosks, from documentary films to inventive uses of social media, our area's digital resources have been used to engage audiences with narratives that were and still are absent from traditional media. Currently, there is a keen interest within the cultural and corporate sectors to create "transmedia narratives" and to create digital stories that address community conflicts to help users and audiences find common ground for respectful discussion and positive action. A growing diverse and technologically savvy patron base is interested in storytelling as a way to make sense of their lives, through constantly evolving new media channels.
