Getting It Out There | A Success!

Feels great being able to successfully organise the seminar event yesterday morning. Everyone worked great with their assigned duties and collaborated well with the group.

We set up the venue around 9:30 as planned. Steven and Toni were filming the seminar; Jessica, Lorraine and Cyndy were in charged of staging and ushering the guests; Soong Fee operated the video presentations from MUFF, Madman and Sharmill Films including the introductory video created by Joe; John and Connie were the event photographers, assisting on staging, ushering, and presenting with Selwyn as well; Keshanee was the host and Danica was assisting in welcoming the guests and ensuring that the seminar event and the team were organised.

We had an amazing line up of guest speakers. Everyone addressed their own areas of interests and expertise really well. The seminar event was a mixture of very informative discussions on distribution, the guest speakers’ personal career experiences and their advice for us, soon to be media graduates. The guest speakers also talked about the importance of networking in the media industry and making most of our time in applying for internships or work attachments. Not only that they engaged us with their personal stories and experiences, they also engaged with other guests in the panel. They exchanged really interesting conversations with each other. And watching the guest speakers feeling at ease with sharing their opinions made the seminar less formal, more relaxed and comfortable.

Really great having Richard, Chris, Natalie, Bronwen and Michael on the seminar. Great work from the team for inviting such fantastic guest speakers and organising the event for media industries 2. We’ve received some great feedback from mi2 and happy to hear that they found the seminar engaging.
