They will espouse the talents, activities and productions in their own countries, to give the audience a good understanding of the breadth and depth of the penetration of the new media in Southeast Asia. It is also a platform for the people in the region to meet and get to know each other, and be a part of the "round table" which we are organising under the auspices of SEAGRAPH, the Southeast Asian Computer Graphics Society. Representatives from Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, Indonesia and Thailand will be joining this forum. The Forum will end with a plenary session to round up discussion and chart future directions. Artist Forum This forum provides a platform for artists to discuss their works and to exchange ideas on how to further develop the concepts. New Media Education in Singapore Forum The objective of this forum is to give design professionals an insight to what leading institutions are teaching and how they are contributing to the New Media industry. It is also a platform for information exchange and knowledge sharing amongst educators. The forum will draw closer ties within the local education communities which aim to build a critical base of future leaders in the New Media sector.
