No company can survive without establishing and maintaining collaborative partnerships.
Cilla Benko, Director General of Swedish Radio, Deiter Boen, Manager of Research and Innovation for VRT Belgium and Madhav Chinnappa, Head of News Partnerships International for Google, will address how local and global cooperation can be achieved and even more importantly how to find that good partner today. For tomorrow.
Jeff Jarvis, Director of the Tow-Knight Center for Entrepreneurial Journalism and author of What Would Google Do'' will look at Reinvention of Media: rethinking the outcomes media leaders intend to achieve and the relationship they can have with the public. He will also challenge delegates to re-examine what the media do well: explain, summarise, discuss, convene and witness.
Content is always key. Tom Himpe, Founding Partner of the Upside UK, and Brian Seth Hurst, CEO of The Opportunity Management Company, will define transmedia' and share their perspectives on moving audiences through content and creating story worlds; ultimately immersing them in the brand and creating longer lasting connections.
And then there's the youth. Gen Y, Millennials or Switched-On generation, they're already avid media consumers now with ever-increasing appetites for information, entertainment and expectations in the years to come. Daniel Erlacher, founder of the Elevate art, music and political Festival, and Ruby Pseudo, CEO of the Global Creative Youth Insights agency will discuss the complexity of combining short attention spans and instant online gratification with vast information stores and their desire to make the world a better place. Most importantly, what all of this means to the future.
