If it’s happening in the world, it’s happening on Twitter. In this session, Maya Hari, VP & Managing Director Asia Pacific at Twitter, will provide a glimpse into the role Twitter plays in shaping culture today. Maya will discuss the movements and moments on the platform that have driven change. She will also welcome former Socceroo captain, Craig Foster, to share how he harnessed the power of a hashtag with #SaveHakeem, a global movement to free a young footballer Hakeem al-Araibi, from a Bangkok Remand Prison.

Conversation is Twitter’s superpower. Every day new communities unite, social movements spring up and vibrant conversations unfold on the platform. This session will equip you with unique understanding of how communities and individuals use Twitter to amplify their voice and make a social impact. Hear a first hand account of what this looks like in action as Craig tell his story of leading a coalition of sport and human rights organisations, to save an innocent man's life.
