Emerging Media Conference Agenda

Where are we Going?

At each Emerging Media Conference we choose a common theme that all of our speakers are encouraged to address. In the past we have gained insight into “The Past, Present, and Future.” and “How has society been affected by Emerging Technologies?”. At the Seattle, WA Emerging Media Conference each and every one of the speakers will address the question “Where are we going?”. Whether they are looking into where we are going as a society, how we will continue engage with one another with new technologies, where technology is headed, or give you a sneak peek into the technologies being developed now that will change our future.
Our agenda is a constant work in progress as we are ensuring that each speaker is fully prepared, and meets all of our attendees expectations. Keep checking back as we continue to develop our program and gather the most inspiring speakers you have seen.
