Why the Future of Media Is Experiential
As attention becomes fleeting and digital reach commoditized, the most forward-looking media companies are finding growth in what can’t be replicated on a screen, experience. By turning audiences into participants, events and real-world activations extend brand life, build trust, and diversify revenue beyond ads or clicks. This session explores why the future of media belongs to those who can transform storytelling into connection and influence into community.
