HPX DIGITAL
Web – Mobile – Gaming – Startups – Design – Marketing
Oct 17-19, 2012 • Halifax • In partnership with FITC
Halifax Pop Explosion introduces the HPX Digital Conference, a major 3-day event for digital and interactive creators and related disciplines from Eastern Canada, the United States, and beyond. Hosted at the Atlantica Hotel, the conference will be held on October 17, 18, and 19, during the Halifax Pop Explosion.
“Like the ‘90s Pop Explosion for which our festival is named, the same level of youthful excitement and opportunity is taking place right now with digital creators” says Executive Director Jonny Stevens. “HPX Digital is for those geniuses building mobile apps, developing games, designing for the web, starting up their companies, and building opportunity. Growing up in Lunenburg in the ‘80s, I never would have thought there would be two game developers based there, employing people, and contributing to the cultural and economic fabric of small town Nova Scotia, yet here we are.”
HPX Digital is an interactive and participatory experience curated by FITC Events (Future, Innovation, Technology, Creativity). The conference will feature visionary speakers in areas including Gaming, Mobile, Web, Startups, Design, and Marketing, and will showcase the exciting things happening within the technology sector in Nova Scotia and beyond. Attendees will have the opportunity to take in business networking opportunities, social events, and of course the exciting musical performances that Halifax Pop Explosion is known for worldwide.
Confirmed keynote speakers Alexis Ohanian (investor in over 50 startups and co-founder of the most popular social news website on the internet, Reddit) and Amber Mac (social strategist, technology host, and journalist) will kick off the conference. Additional speakers will be announced in the coming months.
HPX Digital is presented in partnership with FITC Events, a leader in delivering design- and technology-focused conferences and seminars worldwide which inspire, educate, and challenge attendees. Since 2002, FITC has brought together like-minded professionals and students in Toronto, Amsterdam, Tokyo, San Francisco, Chicago, Seoul, New York, Los Angeles, and now Halifax. FITC events provide the professional development and networking opportunities needed to keep attendees up to date on the rapidly changing industry they work in.
