New Tech for Creatives: The next generation of connected media

Calling all Filmmakers, YouTubers, podcasters, TV, and radio producers, public speakers and presenters, mixed media artists, and tech geeks!

Join Trail Nine Media, ToneTip, and other media creators at the Salt Lake Sprague Branch Library (in Sugarhouse) for a sneak peek into the new innovation of audio QR codes- enhancing communication and creativity in film, YouTube, TV, radio, speaking, podcast production, and more! The new ToneTip technology allows creators to insert inaudible audio clips coded with links into their media, leading to the expansion of the depth and quality of information received by their audiences through an accompanying app. Come learn and be a part of the conversation around its impact, use, and the future of connected media. We will present demos across multiple media types, and have time for media-specific feedback and questions.

Whether you're an experienced media creator or just starting out, this event is perfect for anyone interested in reaching their audiences in a new way. Don’t miss this opportunity to elevate your creative projects and stay ahead in the evolving media industry!
