The tenth annual International Digital Media and Arts Association 
Conference, will be held November 8-10, 2012 in Miami, Florida. 
Commemorating a decade of convergence, this year’s conference looks to

communication, and commitment to digital media and arts. iDMAa invites 
you to share your perspectives on the future of digital media and arts.

We are accepting submissions for presentations and panel proposals until 
September 7, 2012. To ensure rich dialog and exchange, we ask that

discussions will need to submit an abstract and vita for each panel 
participant.

The conference will include keynote speakers, lively pecha kucha 
presentations, a juried art exhibition highlighting creative research in 
interactive media and digital arts, topical discussions focused both on 
future of digital media in the industry and also evolving pedagogies in 
academia.
