Organised by

the drum
 

Only one thing is certain: this climate of digital revolution.

Disruptive forces require businesses to quickly adapt to customers' needs, proactively connect with your audience, and create breakthrough experiences that get the most out of rich, emerging technologies. Where do you go to look for inspiration? Look no further this event will give you the tools to rethink, redefine and re-launch.

It is designed to give you the tools to identify the key developments likely to overwhelm and bust the existing business models that govern marketing and media businesses.

Here are just some of the topics we will be discussing.

Change is as good as a rest:
When too many things change all at once, we panic. How can we turn these into transitions of growth and opportunity?


Adventures in Transmedia Storytelling:
How do you take a story that has been created for one medium (a book, a television series, a documentary...) and open it up so it can be experienced on other platforms and channels?


Making Mobile the Star:
Take a look towards the future of a fully augmented world


Celebrating the Power of the Possible:
The Internet of Things & Science – find out how the web and digital technology is enabling new approaches to scientific R&D.


2045: Humanity 2.0
Is it time we start looking at the year when humanity gets rebooted by the rise of Intelligent Machines?


This one day summit will give you an opportunity to step out of the day to day and really assess the opportunities this new world presents for your industry.

 
Who's Going?
Some of  the organisations you will meet on the day include: Ambition Communictaions, Aviva, Baillie Gifford & Co, Bottle, Code Computerlove, CTI Digital, Ernst & Young, HyperNaked, JD Williams, Lawton Communications Group, Metro Newspapers, McCann, National Rail Enquiries, VCCP, Whitbread and many more

How could I resist participating when the event provides a platform to 'think the unthinkable' and so many visionary minds from the digital sector will be engaged? It was a no-brainer and I'm looking forward to discussing the potential of the latest generation of disruptive innovation to build a better world.
