Thank you for joining us for the DigiMuse Virtual Conference 2021!
Back in May of 2020, DigiMuse launched the DigiMuse Presents: Circuit Breaker Edition open call for all local freelancers, companies, and everyday Singaporeans to share their exciting ideas on how to celebrate our heritage. Their projects are currently featured in the DigiMuse Virtual Showcase.
For this year’s DigiMuse Virtual Conference 2021, we invited a panel of eleven local creatives participating in the showcase to converse with a wider audience about their innovative insights. The event was open to the public, and we would like to thank our DigiMuse friends for a dynamic panel discussion and Q&A session.
We hope that you enjoyed the conference and look forward to sharing more DigiMuse content with you in the future!
