Chinwag Live: Xmas Futures, Crystal Balls? December 2, 2008

In the digital world of diverse media, platforms, distribution and user behaviour, what does the future hold? Is destiny taking us down the path of convergence or fragmentation?

As 2008 bows out, leading digital practitioners and analysts gaze into their crystal balls and predict the future.

Join us on December 2nd for our lively end of year session as we don our five-years-into-the-future specs and foretell the world of 2013!

Will brands, publishers, marketers and platform providers be recognisable? How will they have changed? With ubiquitous web and mobile access, how will online and offline relate?

As we pit imagination against reason and trend analysis, will the views of our digital experts be planets apart? Take this chance to quiz the panel and share your thoughts on what comes next…

(arrive early for complimentary drinks and snacks!)
