Next week brings voices who see technology, creativity, and impact converging in unexpected ways—
From someone who believes the future lies in making stories truly immersive and interactive through AI, to a digital advertising expert who describes his work as "plumbing" (and the reason might surprise you). We'll hear from leaders who understand that platforms and design give people a voice, and visionaries who know that everything must ultimately drive back to enhancing human experience.
These are conversations with people who aren't just talking about transformation—they're actively building it, one authentic story at a time.
But first, catch up on this week's most powerful moments.
