Join the Video Consortium and Utah Film Center on September 18th to celebrate the innovation, talent, and future of Salt Lake City’s media landscape!
What is Press Play?
Press Play is a civic festival that convenes to foster cross-sector collaboration, embrace and reimagine new forms of media from the ground up, and brings storytellers and community together to celebrate their city.
We will update the main event website with info about the program topics and panelists.
What to expect
Come on your own, with a colleague, or with a friend. Everyone who’s attending will have their own skillset and perspective, but what we all share is a desire to use media for good. We’ll highlight what’s working and what’s changing across the media landscape while focusing heavily on video and innovation. Come ready to have honest, collaborative, and solutions-focused conversations (and an empty stomach, as there will be great food).
How is it being programmed?
The national Press Play tour is run by local-first global nonprofit Video Consortium (that’s us!). Press Play SLC is co-hosted by Utah Film Center & Salt Lake Tribune. Press Play is made possible by Knight Foundation, in addition to Sony and Rode.
