Panelists include:

  • Allen Carroll, program manager for storytelling at Esri. Allen leads Esri’s Story Maps team, which develops open-source web apps that enable thousands of people to tell their own place-based stories combining interactive maps and multimedia content. In addition, Allen helps guide strategy for organizing Esri’s online content and for serving its global user communities. Allen came to Esri after 27 years at the National Geographic Society. He led the creation of the seventh and eighth editions of the World Atlas, incorporating satellite imagery and innovative thematic maps into the editions and integrating them for the first time with interactive web resources.
  • Matthew York,  founder and executive director of OMPT. In 1986, he founded Videomaker Inc., a leading publisher on video production. With a magazine readership of over 64,000 and the web site’s 400,000 monthly visitors, the mission is to empower individuals to make video. In 2008, Matt founded OMPT because of his genuine passion to make a difference in the developing world by bringing change through video. Matt has been able to harness his over two decades of expertise in the video consumer electronics industry to grow OMPT from an idea to a thriving nonprofit organization.
  • Amy L. Hill, trainer and consultant on the ethics and practice of strategic storytelling and participatory media for health, development and human rights. After spending 12 years coordinating women’s health and violence prevention projects and learning the mechanics of digital video production as the producer of a series of educational documentaries about HIV and AIDS, she founded Silence Speaks, an international digital storytelling initiative that has employed oral history, facilitative filmmaking and popular education strategies to support the telling and public sharing of life stories documenting injustice and promoting change. Through her work with Silence Speaks, Amy has partnered successfully with local and national government agencies, private foundations and UN agencies to develop and carry out participatory media projects around the world.
