i-Design 09, 24th September, at the Old Cinema, Central London, is an essential one day conference for anyone with an interest or passion for interactive design and the digital arts.

We live in a digital world. Whether it’s the SmartPhone in your hand; socialising on Facebook and the like; online shopping for the best deal; a gallery installation that grabs your attention; or simply being the target for digital lifestyle advertisers, this stuff has reached far beyond the beige box on your desk. It has immersed itself in our daily lives making us all digital by stealth as much as by conscious choice.

Is it real? is the question this year’s conference theme asks our line up of renowned speakers from the interactive design world. In just one day, industry voices will offer their experiences and vision on:

* Fake bloody murders with household items
* Convince decent people to take their clothes off / generally disgrace themselves for your "art"
* Make movies with no budget that look like movies with a very small budget.
* Sneak onto the bill of important international film festivals.

Blood, guts, love, hate, birth and several deaths; see it all at TridentFest!
