Webinar: A View from the Entrepreneurial Edge of Immersive Programming

In Conversation with Jordi Sellas, founder of IDEAL Centre d’Arts Digital de Barcelona

This webinar is a joint activity of the Audience Outlook Monitor community and Immersed in the Future, WolfBrown’s community of practice designed to support nonprofit arts organizations as they navigate the complex programmatic space of augmented, immersive, and virtual experiences.

We’ll discuss the opportunities and challenges of programming in the immersive space with the Director of IDEAL (Barcelona), Jordi Sellas I Ferrés. In 2019 Sellas converted a historic cinema in Barcelona into one of the world’s leading digital cultural centers and now tours his immersive programs around the world. Alan Brown, Managing Principal at WolfBrown, will moderate.
