About New Media BC

New Media BC is a federally incorporated not-for-profit full service association. Our membership is comprised of businesses, educational organizations, government agencies, and individuals whose core products and services include e-commerce, eLearning, web development, electronic games, digital animation, digital film, visual effects, software and tools, interactive products, and many more. We represent the industry at large and implement strategic projects derived from ongoing consultation with our sector.

New Media BC is a founding member of the national coalition of new media associations (the Canadian Interactive Alliance CI@IC) and accordingly has strong relationships across the country. Internationally, we work with other associations and Canadian Trade Commissions to develop global market channels. Lastly, by some strange quirk of fate, all those involved with NMBC seem to have really bendy thumbs.
