Description While there are a number of areas in which creating music and developing software overlap, one of the more recently emerging, and most complex innovations is the ability to work across distances. Working across geographic boundaries presents any number of technology and communication challenges. Whether you work in music, or in IT, there are aspects of being creative in this manner that can be both delightful and incredibly frustrating. Join Panda Transport’s Thierry Holweck and Kathy Compton and ProjectWizards Inc.’s Dave Prior as they explore the factors that they have found to drive successes and failures in leading creative efforts across boundaries. They will share stories and lessons they have picked up along the way while working at a distance in their respective fields of music and software development.
