Impact producers are essential for any mission-driven media project. This panel will explore how impact producers design and implement impact strategies that build relationships with key stakeholders and audiences in order to raise awareness, inspire action, or (hopefully) change policy. We will be joined by panelists Latesha Dickerson (ANY GIVEN DAY), Sydney Bauer (UNDUE BURDENS), Adam Joel (NO SMALL MATTER).

Following the seminar, there will be an info session for the 2022 Chicago Digital Media Production Fund grant guidelines and application process. Prospective applicants and key creatives who are interested in submitting a project proposal are encouraged to attend!
