FLASH IN THE

CAN-VERSATION
FITC Toronto 2011 brought together speakers and delegates from a wide range of disciplines to
explore digital creation in all its forms.
The conference experience can be extended beyond the physical acts of watching and listening. I
have used a selection of online tools to create a resource that documents online conversations
surrounding the festival.

Reactions come from before, during and after the event from bloggers, online news sources and
the traditional media. If you have something you would like to include please get in touch.

This resource is available as a downloadable pdf and on my blog.
