What would be the next big thing in this multiplatform entertainment landscape? How will it be created? These are part of the key questions to be discussed during the fourth annual Innovation for Media Content Creation seminar (InnovationMCC) held in partnership with University of Miami School of Communication on April 19.
The Innovation for Media Content Creation seminar is an educational initiative from the Center for Innovation and Creativity in Media (CIC Media), an organization led by global executive and international Emmy-award nominee, Marlon Quintero. The event is an exclusive opportunity for students and creative professionals to learn about the best use of innovation in the content creation process.
