Tomorrow is a big day for transmedia in France.  The three days intense training TIMM, as in Transmedia International Masterclass Marseille, will be held in Marseille, France. An opportunity to listen and work with the best Transmedia specialists in the world.

Attendees will learn about Transmedia issues, and, more specifically, will understand how Games: social games, alternate reality games and pervasive games will influence Transmedia creation content, technology, business models, and delivery issues.

While morning sessions will be devoted to lectures, the workshops and hands on activities will take place in the afternoon. The first day will be designated to Storytelling, with speakers like Christy Dena from Universe Creation 101 or Eric Viennot, the creator of the « total fiction » game concept and co-creator of the Lexis Numérique studio.  Here you can find detailed information about each day’s program and about all the speakers.

The second day will be all about production, conducted by speakers like Joaquin Alvarado, from American Public Media or Monique De Haas from Dondersteen.net. The last day will focus on technology with the interventions of speakers like Jean-François Rodriguez, VP of Transmedia & Social Media in Orange Group or Boyd Multerer from Microsoft.

The content of each afternoon workshop will be organized in accordance with the speakers of the day and will include hands-on activities, group discussion, analysis and critiques. In addition to these analysis-and-revision exercises, attendees will gain further practical experience working with these models through brief collaborative design projects, brainstorming sessions, critical analysis and discussion.

TIMM is organized by the French university CNAM, the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers, and NX Publishing. It will take place from May 11 to 13, at Palais du Phare in Marseille, south of France.
