Exciting news for Celebrate the Web 2: New venue and date!

Mark your calendars: July 24th

Jenni Powell has announced this morning the exciting news about Celebrate the Web 2:

“…I had been approached several months ago by the fabulous and talented web community multi-hyphenates Stephanie Thorpe (Hurtling Through Space at an Alarming Rate, After Judgement, GOLD: Night of the Zombie King) and Taryn O’Neill (Hurtling Through Space at an Alarming Rate, After Judgement, Compulsions, Continuum) about helping to produce an event during the weekend of Comic Con in San Diego that would help fill the demand for more of a web series presence during the Con. Over the course of trying to plan both events, it became clear that we all had the same vision: one of giving fans and non-fans alike a chance to be exposed to and to celebrate the awesome web content that is being created by extremely talented individuals.

It became clear that the best way to make a truly unique and quality event would be to merge these two events into one, while keeping the strengths of what worked with Celebrate the Web (a relaxed atmosphere where fans and creators can come together, whether in person or online through livestreaming) while also celebrating the unique energy that exists during Comic Con and making a strong web presence there….”

Read Jenni’s post to get all the details including how creators and fans can take part – even if they are not going to be attending SDCC in person.

Having the Panels at SDCC means that more people can potentially be involved and gives a solid presence for the new media/webseries community. When we asked for suggestions for the Celebrate the Web 2 we had some really interesting answers and we thank everyone who took the time to share their responses. It is clear that there are many issues people would like to discuss and the hope is that this bigger platform will give everyone the opportunity to take part.

We will have more details soon.
