Jason Mogus will be acting as a moderator at the upcoming Vancouver International Digtial Festival on Granville Island. VIDFEST is an event for the top creative minds working in digital media. Attracting visionaries from games, web 2.0, interactive design, animation and mobile applications, it is an annual 'must-attend' in Vancouver, Canada.

VIDFEST is all about the what-if this year. We're going deep and tackling that (new) age old dilemma: ‘What is the meaning of life in a digital world?' We've recruited speakers that will motivate you with their past accomplishments and inspire you with their forward-thinking vision.

Positively Charged
The digital space is increasingly being used as the platform of choice for altruistic projects. Meet some of the folks who have chosen the path of social responsibility and get inspired by new models of giving back.

Speakers:
Tom Williams, CEO, Givemeaning.org
Eric Karjaluoto, Creator, DesignCanChange.org; President, smashLAB
Dylan Higgins, Fellow, Kiva.org
(Moderator) Jason Mogus, CEO, Communicopia
