The theme for the forum is Wider Vision, Better Value.

The forum will be held over two days. The first day will feature presentations and the second day is structured around workshops. Participants in the workshops will be required to bring their own laptops. We are offering modular ticketing so people can choose to attend part or all of the forum days.

Our keynote speaker is Thomas Stoeckle, the Global Segment Leader for Media Intelligence at LexisNexis.  Thomas is a marketing communications researcher and business leader with 20 years+ experience in helping clients make sense of their global (social) media footprint, and how that affects perception and reputation.  He believes passionately in meaning and insightful business story-telling through robust data evidence and compelling visualization
