Potsdam, 5 September 2018.

The MediaTech Con is the new conference for future media technologies in Potsdam-Babelsberg. It is being held for the first time on 14 and 15 November, 2018. The two previously established conference brands Changing the Picture and VR NOW Con & Awards are a part of the MediaTech Con. The three conferences rolled into one will be offering their delegates a joint two-day international platform with visionary presentations, talks and workshops in Potsdam-Babelsberg – and will thus be right at the interface of technology, content and application. The use for those companies not directly part of the media industry is therefore be a foremost concern and will be supported by the MeetToMatch business networking platform. The organisers are offering a joint ticket and numerous opportunities for networking and communication. Further information at www.mediatech-con.de.

The MediaTech Con is dedicated to the technology-driven production of content and the media business. The MediaTech Con is being organised by the MediaTech Hub Potsdam.
