The Higher Learning

In a continuing effort to bring the best to the complex, iMAGINE Alexandria is dedicated to providing professional development and educational opportunities to our members and the community.

iMAGINE will attract and facilitate high-profile speakers, seminars, collegiate programs, professional organizations, and industry user groups to fuel the educational component. High-profile speakers whose expertise extends through a variety of media and business topics will inform and entertain the professionals in this creative environment. Multi-day seminars focused on industry trends and new communication technologies will provide a base for professional development. These programs will be available not only to our incubator companies but also to educational institutions and the general public thereby raising the visibility of iMAGINE Alexandria. An advisory committee of industry leaders will help develop core areas of study and find qualified speakers to present the development workshops. Fortunately, the Washington DC area is ripe with other professional organizations who’s additional programming and content will provide a vast resource synergistic educational growth. It is also home to some of the best associations in the country including the Newspaper Association of America, the National Press Club, the Cultural Alliance of Greater Washington, Women in Film and Video, the Television, Internet & Video Association of DC, the American Marketing Association of DC, and the Office of Motion Picture and TV Development. Area users groups who are often grassroots organizations can finally find a home to conduct their meetings and share their ideas with the community.
