The Communication Conference

June 24, 14:00 - 18:00, The Corn Exchange

The Communication track at the FutureFest Conference will deliver crucial insight into core issues underpinning our future including the risks and rewards in social networking, our privacy in an increasingly virtual world, the relentless progress of mobile technologies, the ever expanding blogosphere, the challenge of bandwidth and the role of advertising.

Drawing on the knowledge, insight and opinions of globally recognised 'thought leaders' we will investigate and debate key drivers behind future waves of innovation and technology in this area as well as exploring cross over opportunities and pitfalls that may exist between the Communications track and the Earth, Life and Machine tracks.

The Conference will be staged in a format that enables highly focused presentations, interactive debates, demonstrations and discussions around the principle themes.

The intellectual engagement, initiated on the conference floor will extend across the Festival through the Communication Lectures, the Court of Media Technology and a series of open events that will broaden the challenge to include an even wider audience.
