The new media side of ICT careers will be explored at a forthcoming careers expo in Melbourne. The 2009 Develop ICT Skills and Careers Expo will take place at the Melbourne's Royal Exhibition Building (that's the one in Carlton, not Jeff's shed on Southbank) as part of the International Digital Entertainment Festival (iDEF) from October 30 to November 1.

The expo will present information relating to careers in mobile content development and delivery, animation, game development and publishing, government-related issues, multimedia, and the film and music industry.

Universities and colleges active in these areas - including Monash University, Swinburne University of Technology, Academy of Interactive Entertainment, and QANTM - will be represented.

Free entry on the opening day is offered to schools organising parties of students.

Other parts of iDEF 2009 include the eGames Expo and the Digital Lifestyle Show.
