Some conference highlights include several* keynotes* and keynote panels
each day. Among them are:

*Emeritus Professor Graeme Turner *~ *The Re-invention of the Media: Issues
for the Future of Media Studies*

Turner’s recent book advances the idea of the media having been
're-invented' and needing new theories or perspectives for analysis because
the old ones no longer are 'fit for purpose'. This keynote examines the key
issues for Media Studies in the post-broadcast, post-analogue, and
post-mass media era.

Or How We All Learned to Multi-mediate, and Why Animation Can Save the
World*

Wells, has written many books on animation and his students worked on ‘*Harry
Potter*’ as part of coursework. He is Director of the Animation Academy at
Loughborough University and editor of a new journal, *Animation Practice,
Process and Production* (Intellect). This keynote explores animation and
the moving image in the context of the shifting and change creating social
