Interactive Ontario’s popular iLunch series returns this fall for the 11th edition. Each session will tackle a different area of interactive digital media under the theme Business Essentials: Exploring the Building Blocks of the Interactive Industry.

These lunch-and-learn events, happening monthly in Toronto from November 2012 to March 2013, offer case studies, panel discussions and presentations that will examine successful business practices and strategies. At each iLunch, delegates will learn about the nuts and bolts of various sectors and segments of interactive digital media. They will also have the opportunity for Q & A with the panelists and to network with potential business contacts in an informal setting.

If you’ve ever wondered how deals are structured, which way the money flows, and what a project team looks like, iLunch will provide an understanding of these fundamentals of interactive projects within a variety of specializations.
