Chris Winter’s Summary

I work with the Strategic Development group of the Innovation Division of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, engaged in a number of new platform projects. Until mid 2007, I was the establishing manager of the ABC’s second, digital-only, national television service ABC2 (http://www.abc.net.au/tv/abc2/)

Prior to ABC2, I was New Services Manager in the ABC’s New Media Division, following a stint at the NSW Film and TV Office in the late 90s. While with New Media, I managed a number of interactive TV and multi-platform projects, the ABC’s involvement with datacasting and mobile TV trials, and participated in the work of various digital TV and iTV policy groups with the other Australian free-to-air television networks.

I come from a background in radio and resources management in the ABC, including several years as international marketing manager for an ABC-developed non-linear audio editing system successfully pitched to some of the biggest radio newsrooms in the world.

I am a member of the Australian Interactive Media Industry Association, the Music Council of Australia, and the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (http://www.iadas.net/); have contributed to the annual conferences of the Screen Producers Association of Australia since 1999 (http://www.spaa.org.au/), and participated in every XMediaLab held in Australia (http://www.xmedialab.com/).

In 2004 I was the joint recipient of an ARIA Award for Best Music DVD for the production work on Midnight Oil’s Best of Both Worlds, and in March this year, was presented with AIMIA’s 2007 Outstanding Contribution Award (http://www.aimia.com.au/i-cms?page=1.36.2779.2776).

I joined the board of Metro Screen Ltd in 2009, and was invited to join the Federal Government’s Information Technology Industry Innovation Council, announced in May 2009.
