Tim is an independent producer and creative consultant who combines immersive technology, live performance and physical installations. As a consultant he helps organisations develop strategies for innovation and approaches to immersive storytelling. He is currently Creative Entrepreneur in Residence at Reading University, and was Consulting Producer for The Gunpowder Plot, a feature length immersive historical experience. Previously, as Head of the R&D Studio for Historic Royal Palaces, he led projects spanning social media campaigns, online interactives, on-site installations, live performances and new immersive experiences – including the multiple award-winning The Lost Palace. 

Tim will talk about the production management of large scale immersive performances and installations, and this will be a particularly good session for those of you making those kinds of experiential projects.
