  • TEDxPoynter Institute: Discovering the Future of Media (DTED-13)

    Seminar
    06/07

    To figure out where media is heading, we need to push the conversation beyond the traditional ideas we hear every day in the social media echo chamber. We need to connect the dots between the present and the future of media.

    During this interactive one-day TEDx event, we will tap into the minds of influential thought leaders from the broadest sections of the media industry.

    What makes this day unique is the variety of speakers at the intersection of technology and media — and the access that participants will have to these folks.
