iDMAa is a forum for professionals working across the wide range of disciplines and initiatives that are clustered around the emerging field of Digital Media and Arts. Traditional disciplines including the Arts, Computer Science, Engineering, Journalism and Communications, Media Studies, Film and Television, and many others are embroiled in sweeping changes wrought by new technologies, new applications, and new challenges.

Colleges and universities are attempting to incorporate these new technologies and practices into their curricula, with varying results. Industry practitioners are also affected by the rapid proliferation ofnew media, but traditional trade associations do not offer sufficient interdisciplinary depth for creative individuals whose work cuts across boundaries.

iDMAa is a forum where progressive thinkers and creators can come together as a community — both online and in person — to share insights, concerns and experiences related to their common interests.
