Austria
"Interactive multimedia beyond the year 2000" is a major conference which will take place in Vienna, Austria, on 29 November 1998. Organised by the European Commission within the framework of the INFO2000 programme for the development of the multimedia content industry and the use of multimedia content in Europe, the event aims to raise awareness of multimedia at the highest levels in Europe.
The first objective of the event is to present the results of the INFO2000 programme, showing the contribution made by the EU to ongoing and recently completed multimedia content initiatives. The second objective is to look forward to the development of multimedia content. This section of the programme will start with the presentation of a recent study, "Content and commerce driven strategies in global networks", carried out on behalf of the Commission. Here participants will look at the challenges and the business opportunities from the development of the Information Society and the transition to the "knowledge society".
The INFO2000 conference will be followed by the Gala where the EuroPrix MultiMediaArt '98 prizes will be presented. A total of 557 entries have been submitted for this new prize which aims to encourage creativity in the design and application of multimedia. On the days following the conference, IST 98, the EU's flagship conference in the information technologies sector will take place in Vienna, from 30 November until 2 December 1998. The European IT Prizes will also be presented during IST 98, on 1 December, by the Austrian Chancellor.
