    conference for research and collaborative endeavour in new media. DAC has
    always offered a specialised forum that has emphasised the importance of
    bringing together leading practitioners for the exchange of ideas and to
    develop international professional networks and knowledge economies.

    role through the papers, panels, and forums it hosts, and the innovative
    series of collaborative workshops and events that will be undertaken by all
