Conference Tracks
Two tracks define the core of this year’s conference: Creative Process, Art Direction, and Production and Implementation and Technical Support.
Creative Process, Art Direction, and Production
This track focuses on authoring with Pachyderm, creating programs around using digital media, developing stories and capturing assets, and using digital media creatively. Showcases and case studies fall under this track as well.
Implementation and Technical Support
This track centers on the technical aspects of working with Pachyderm, including open source development, server installation, template creation and modification, connections with other systems, and new Pachyderm features.
Proposals for breakout sessions are encouraged in any of the following areas, but this list is not exhaustive and selections will not be limited to these topics:
- Tips and tricks for working with Pachyderm or digital media
- Case studies and showcases of finished pieces
- Examples of integrating Pachyderm materials into educational settings
- New development work your institution is doing on the Pachyderm software or templates
- The impact of digital media on education
Breakout sessions may be hands-on activities, panel sessions, showcases, presentations, or demonstrations.
