As part of our ongoing commitment to innovation and partnership, we are developing a number of TFD Labs. These online and 'live' initiatives are designed to incubate and encourage new thinking whilst educating our audience in the use and application of such things as technology, new business models and partnerships between diverse creative disciplines.
TFD TechLab has been created to provide our members and a wider audience with a live and online environment within which they can better understand new technologies and technology solutions and meet and potentially partner with the people behind those technologies.
TFD TechLab aims to 'translate' the benefits of Technology driven solutions to our audience and by presenting case-studies, and driving engagement between our audience and the providers of technology solutions. In addition we believe that Technology partners need to be brought into the creative process far earlier and that for technology based solutions to be used most effectively the process would be more about partnership than acquisition.
TFD TechLab Structure. TFD TechLab is a continually evolving programme of information and events aimed at helping members and our wider audience. Its structure and activities will change to reflect the requirements of its audience and its partners. However fundamentally...
- TFD TechLab will provide an online information resource featuring showcases, product overviews, a glossary of terms and a knowledge bank with connections to partners.
- TFD TechLab will run an ongoing programme of live events at which members and an invited wider audience will learn more about technology solutions relevant to them.
- TFD TechLab will run an ongoing Technology editorial research programme whereby great uses of technology will be researched and included in the TFD magazine - The Next Issue and online.
- TFD TechLab will run one major annual event the TFD TechLab Summit at which creative leaders and technologists will debate, showcase and provide inspiration.
