Matthew (aka Chewy) has been at Google UK for four years. He's a developer advocate, which means he spends most of his time patiently explaining technical concepts to people without technical backgrounds. Chewy is particularly knowledgeable about the Google Application Processing Interfaces (APIs) and Webmaster programs. To hear Chewy join us at the Exploiting Digital Tools, event which will examine the potential these tools have to transform the creative and production processes. This is part of our Digital Tools Beacon Project Digital tools play a key role in driving innovation in today’s creative industries. But what new tools are on the horizon and how will creative businesses harness them to drive exciting new business opportunities? What will creative professionals - from architects to fashion designers to games developers and others - be using to create and produce content in the future? How can digital tools cut production costs and improve efficiencies? What can the different creative sectors learn from each other? We are holding a workshop at IPA, London on Wednesday 21st July 2010. This is a unique opportunity to share your expertise and to influence this exciting project along with other innovators from across the creative and technology sectors. Working with leading innovation company Whatif we will be carrying out some initial research including an online survey and expert interviews. The workshops will then create and validate a number of future scenarios. The event is also a great networking opportunity to meet people from across the creative industries. We will show you some of the digital tools and how they are being used in different creative sectors. This work will link closely with future funding opportunities from the Technology Strategy Board.
