Ben Forta in Sydney

Ben Forta (Adobe’s Senior Director – Education Initiatives) and I meet with a number of educators and students in Sydney today to find out what Adobe can do to enhance the education process.

We flew in from Brisbane and went straight to Roseville College, a Anglican Girls School. Abi Woldhuis (Adobe Campus Leader) and Henrietta Miller (Adobe Education Leader) organised a program of student and teacher engagement, including a lovely lunch with the school executive.

After a wonderful few hours at Roseville, Ben & I rushed to the Adobe office in Darling Harbour where we met with a number of NSW Adobe Education Leaders, Adobe Campus Leaders and other educators for a research meeting and dinner.

Ben was given some great feedback from everyone he met today that he will be able to send directory to the various production teams at Adobe in the US.
