Background

As part of the Commonwealth Government's cultural policy statement 
Creative Nation, a series of multimedia initiatives are being undertaken 
to place Australia as a world leader in media services through the 
production of content - an essential element of the new communication 
services.
The package seeks to create a dynamic multimedia industry producing 
Australian content for Australian and international consumers, as well 
as providing a stimulus for increased access to cultural material by the 
community.
The Multimedia Forums will be a major source of information about 
developments in multimedia and will facilitate the establishment of 
close and productive linkages between the cultural community and 
industry. These will enable Australia to better develop and 
commercialise interactive multimedia products and services.

The Forums

The forums will be accessible to a broad range of stakeholders, flexible 
in content and responsive to the needs of the sector. The Forums will 
consider critical technical and commercial issues such as best practice, 
intellectual property rights, finance, the requirements for market 
success, and the development of multimedia titles. Forums will be able 
to focus on topical issues which Government, the cultural community or 
industry believe need to be addressed, including for example, the Final 
Report of the Broadband Services Expert Group and the Innovation 
Statement.

Forum One

Forum One is a one day event which will be repeated in major capital 
cities (see Schedule) and will provide an update on the Creative Nation 
initiatives, including discussion on the implementation of these 
initiatives and information on when and how people can participate in 
programs and gain government support. There will be ample time for 
questions and answers.
"An essential forum for anyone with an interest in multimedia as a 
business, a creative endeavour or for export" Peter Cook - Michael Lee

This forum will provide the opportunity to meld the interests and 
efforts of business, the cultural community, technologists, educators 
and the legal profession. Participants will be able to influence the 
future content, structure and orientation of the Forums Program.

Program and Speakers

Senator the Hon Peter Cook, Minister for Industry, Science and 
Technology will launch Forum One in Sydney. The Hon. Michael Lee M.P., 
Minister for Communications and the Arts will give a keynote address at 
the forum. Speakers will include senior Commonwealth officers and 
cultural and industry representatives.
Free: Have you a multimedia associated product or service? This is the 
best offer you will have this year to promote your company, project or 
organisation.

The program commences for each Forum at 9:30am, with registration from 
8:30am and finishes each day at 5pm.
The Program for each Forum will include sessions on: The Creative Nation
 vision, Commonwealth Government programs (AME, Australia on CD, CMCs, 
Forums); Industry Assistance; Agency programs (AFC, AFTRS, ACTF); Case 
studies; and, Where to From Here? - Future Forums. A panel discussion 
will follow each session and short displays/demonstrations will be 
interspersed throughout the program.

Registration Fee

A registration fee of $50 will apply, payable on submission of 
registration or at the forum. Morning and afternoon teas, lunch and 
conference papers are included.

Displays/Demonstrations

During the day there will be displays/demonstrations of multimedia 
applications as part of the presentations, and a range of hands on 
multimedia products and services will be on display from industry and 
the cultural community.
There will be no charge for demonstration/display space but as it is 
limited it may be necessary to select from applications received by the 
deadline of 23 February 1995 to ensure equitable representation of 
interest and size.
Organisations are invited to submit proposals to demonstrate/display 
their product during the Forum sessions. Organisations wishing to take 
advantage of this opportunity to demonstrate/display their product or 
service to a wide range potential buyers or venture partners should 
submit the attached Display/Demonstration Application Form at the
