Unexpected Media

BBC Innovation Labs 2006/7

The second series of BBC Innovation Labs has now been officially launched.

We’re doing four this year: one in Scotland, one in London and one each for the North and South of England.

We’ve set dates for the Launch events where Matt Locke and others from the BBC will explain the new briefs, give more information about the BBC’s new media strategy and technological infrastructure, and give an opportunity for regional indies to meet commissioners and ask questions about the kind of projects we’re looking for this year. We’re currently confirming venues, but here’s the list of dates so you can get them in your diary. Each event will be in a central location in the city listed, and will last from 12-5pm (lunch included):
