Our conference location, the beautiful and historic city of Santa Fe, New Mexico, is the inspiration for the theme of this annual event. Continuing higher education organizations are “going green” with new sustainability-related programs that help students transition to new green careers. We are also “going green” by continuing to focus on successful financial strategies especially in today’s challenging economy. And as always, we seek to “spice things up” through innovative programs and practices. The 2009 UCEA Region West Conference is our chance to share ideas and to be inspired by both our conference setting and fellow colleagues.

Conference tracks this year include sustainability, regional workforce development and innovation.

Digital Arts Conference 2009: A Creative Success

Published on March 17, 2009 in Digital Arts. Closed Tags: , , , , , .

UNM Continuing Education held its 4th Annual Digital Arts Conference on March 7, at our campus in Albuquerque. This year’s conference was titled The Road to Creative Success.
Attendees arrived around 7:45. They enjoyed a buffet breakfast, spent some time networking, and visited exhibitors.  Attendees entered the auditorium around 9:00, then were inspired by Robin Williams’ Keynote address: The Best of Both Worlds in Design—Hand Made and Digital, and Joey Belville’s General Session: The Magic of Digital Audio.
Attendees chose one of three di

scussions for each breakout session.  Digital Arts reporters attended each session, here are some thoughts on three of the nine sessions:

First Breakout Session:

The Latest in High Dynamic Range Photography – Joanne Schmidt

Joanne Schmidt’s presentation focused on technique.  She talked about how to take HDR photos, necessary equipment features, and software differences between the canonical Photoshop and Photomatix Pro for making HDR images.  She also gave out a few secrets.  To get started with photo-editing, come to our infoByte session this Thursday, March 19, from 5-6:30pm, and don’t forget to enroll in Beginning Photoshop or Photoshop Elements this Summer.

Second Breakout Session:

The Photographer’s Guide to New Mexico –Efrain Padro

Photographer Efrain Padro’s presentation centered on New Mexico’s visual greatness.  In addition to his remarks about being in the photography business, Efrain talked about many regions of New Mexico, and the images those locations afforded his newly published book.  Photographers looking for a great way to meet people and explore New Mexican locations might want to take a tour through Story of New Mexico.

Third Breakout Session:

Real World Marketing Success: Bridging Old and New Media – Mary Ellen Merrigan

Mary Ellen runs the ProfitMeister blog.  In her presentation, she connected local New Mexican businesses to examples of what she calls the four channels, and delineated the positive and negative sides of bridging Web marketing methods with physical marketing methods.  One case study that really sticks in my mind is the example of the Slate Street Café owner’s ability to connect her advertisements to her work practice, then connect those foundations to an article in a nationally syndicated magazine.  According to Mary Ellen, the restaurateur’s attempts paid off and her restaurant has seen the results of her hard work and smart thinking.  Mary Ellen also spoke briefly on generational issues in marketing with old and new media, Facebook, Twitter, and Linked-In.  Mary Ellen Merrigan teaches Marketing: Building the Buzz for Your Art; Social Media: Blogs, Facebook and Linked-In; and The New Social Web for Visibility at our campus in Albuquerque.

Conference exhibitors included Sony Pictures Image Works Interactive, the Albuquerque Film Office, Media Arts Collaborative Charter School, as well as others who provided demonstrations with equipment and techniques.

Overall this year’s Digital Arts Conference has been a huge success.  We hope you enjoyed it too, and that you will join us next year. Please feel free to drop a line if you have requested topics for 2010.
