THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT. :(
We are very sorry but all 175 seats for this event have been spoken for and there is no waiting list (due to us being oversold).
We apologize if you did not get to register for this event but we wish you the happiest of holidays! We will try to have another event in the near future where you can enjoy this video showcase.

Every year around December we get together with other related digital media groups to celebrate Christmas festivities, network, and share in some good holiday cheer. This year we promise to bring you the fanciest new media holiday event ever.
On Thursday, December 3, 2009, New Media Manitoba is partnering with the Graphic Designers of Canada, the International Game Developer's Association, On Screen Manitoba, and Flash in the Peg to bring you a holiday "Digital Media Showcase!"
The party starts at 6 pm at the IMAX Portage Place to celebrate a digital media production that has been 6-months in the making. Eight new media companies and Eight industry leaders will be featured during the evening on the larger than life IMAX screen in a celebration that is as close as we've ever gotten to an awards show.
6 pm - 6:45 pm Registration!
6:50 pm Video Showcase in the Theatre!
8 pm - 10:30 pm Party! Appetizers! Drinks!
Your admission ticket includes:
- Validated parking underground for 4-hours
- Attendance to the Video Showcase
- Party in the Lobby following the Showcase
- Appetizers (from Star Grill)
- 1 drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic)
There will be a cash bar serving beer for $4 and wine for $6.
In July 2009 we invited new media companies around the province to
share stories about their companies and the industry. December's
holiday event will be the culmination of the videos we've been shooting
that share some insightful and funny anecdotes from the people that
make new media in Manitoba.
Following this feature presentation, the videos will go on tour around
the country and beyond, helping to spread the word about our new media
industry and why we do business here!
Manitoba Motion Graphics Companies, Digital Illustrators, Web
Developers, Graphic Designers, Video Game Producers, Animators, Mobile
Content Creators, and Software Developers will all be the toast of the
evening as we share a night of food, music, and drinks, on a 7-story
IMAX screen filled with some of your closest comrades.
Tickets are just $15, or $10 if you are a paid member of one of the
participating groups hosting the event: NMM, IGDA, the GDC, OSM, or
FITP. If you don't know what at least one of these acronyms stand for
you probably aren't a paid member. :) Star Grill is catering appetizers
and your admission includes a drink. There is free, toasty warm,
underground parking within Portage Place. Just bring your parking
ticket upstairs to be validated when you arrive!
We have a limited number of seats available so we encourage you to register online as soon as possible.
We have sold out previous events in just a matter of days, and while
this is certainly a larger venue, there will be a great deal more
people in attendance.
When: Thursday, December 3, at 6 pm. IMAX Video Showcase starts at 7 pm.
Where: IMAX Portage Place Downtown
*How Much: $15 or $10 for paid members and students
What to Wear: Something nice, Business or Business Casual
*Price includes admission, appetizers, and a drink (cash bar is available)
If you pick just one new media mixer to attend all year this should
definitely be it! Feel free to bring family and friends too. The video
presentation will be the perfect opportunity for them to learn what you
do. ;)
