2016 LOOKBOOK

CHARLESTON GAILLARD

CENTER

APRIL 26–28 2016

#DIGPOWER

Marching toward the 4th annual DIG South Interactive Festival we are obsessed with power.

The power of the startup with a fresh round of funding. The entrepreneur and the marketer A/B testing a homepage on the eve of a product launch. The developer tweaking code for a virtual reality headset. The CEO obsessing over the impact of culture and B Corp status. And, the political strategist making a nation laugh, like, share, link to, tweet, poke, post, delete, debate and rage until we punch in our votes.

With this power trip in mind, we invited presenters to submit topics touching on sources and shapes of power in the 21st century digital economy. The power of venture capital, code, the cloud, connected devices, data and analytics, community, creativity, branding, marketing and advertising, media, entertainment, entrepreneurship, gaming, sports, renewable energy, social good and much more.

If knowledge is power, our collective minds should emit a mega burst at Charleston’s Gaillard Center next April 26–28, 2016.

Join us to share what powers you and your business.

DIG it,

Stanfield Gray

DIG SOUTH’S VENTURE & DEMO DAY IS THE CAPITOL OF CAPITAL IN THE SOUTH, the place where startups from around the region compete for more than $20,000 in

cash and prizes, and, more importantly, build promising relationships with top-shelf investors.

Held at the spectacular Gaillard Center in downtown Charleston, the day includes two startup pitch events and a reverse corporate pitch, a venture-related

keynote, a job market fair, a startup showcase, and closes with DIG South’s Investor Bash on the Gaillard Terrace. The DIG South Interactive Conference launches later that evening with the Upload Shindig in the Charleston Museum Courtyard.
