14. The Future Of Storytelling
A worldview from countries represented in Asia Pacific,
Latin America, Africa, North America & Europe reach the
same conclusion: the digital world is developing rapidly.
Across oceans, conversations are continuing via digital
communications. Social connections are evolving in a
very experiential way. Whether you like it or not, this
cross-cultural, digital chatter exists 24/7.
How do we keep up?
How can we navigate this ever-expanding channel?

15. The Future Of Storytelling (cont’d)
Our panel will provide examples of what works in this
digital age – and what doesn’t.
The discussion will delve into understanding how
engagement will help support the future of communication
and how we should go about telling the story.
The panel will be presented as a candid conversation on
learning to tell the story, finding content, and building and
engaging communities.

on the planet. We reused *everything*.) Worked in IT and spent as much time as possible travelling
