A Conversation About Revolution and What’s Next: Telling Stories, Branding and Community In A State of Change
HD EXPO September 25, 2008 The Waterfront New York City, NY
Steve Wax, Steve Coulson and John Dukakis
When film hit the scene over 100 years ago; storytelling, storytellers, and culture changed forever. The creative community is experiencing an equally dramatic upheaval as a technological and social revolution has taken root over the past decade. Democratized tools for creativity and connection, the growth of social media, the advent of sophisticated metrics, the power of community, the rise of online and mobile content and the wavering of broadcast are creating a volatile and exciting new landscape. That landscape has different content, different rules about its sanctity, and different ways of viewing. Seize a rare opportunity to hear four of the most engaging revolutionaries in a conversation about the volatile and exciting spot on the path where we stand. Moderated by Christine Purse, Ignite!.
