Join us to define the economic development investment roadmap for
digital media in Ohio. What is the next level for rich media in Ohio?
Participate in one hour sessions of updates and interactive
conversations with academic, business and government leaders and guide
next steps to grow Ohio as a global leader in rich media applications.

We'll take a close look at strategic outcomes for Ohio, metrics we
need to measure success, what milestones look like and identify SMART
(simple - measureable - aggressive - relevant - time sensitive) goals.
