A special extended content block focusing on technology and culturally driven trends in the world of sports, luxury/fashion and advocacy. This curated dialog_ session will focus on the seismic financial, cultural and consumer changes affecting these industries.
DIALOG SPORTS: IT'S ANYONE'S GAME
The power of sports to captivate, engage and convert mass audiences is undeniable - the future of how sports will be covered, packaged and distributed is not. Traditional roles and rules no longer apply. What will it mean to ‘watch sports’ and when/where will this happen and who’s game will you be watching? How will brands play a role in the creation, definition and distribution of sports. We explore these trends and more with sports leaders and luminaries.

DIALOG ADVOCACY
In an attention driven economy, passion and advocacy matter more than ever. Increasingly, audience buying power and social power are driven by advocacy - not by traditional brand and marketing tactics. We explore how movements are created in a digital age, how brands can and should harness advocacy and the power of a cause to change culture and to re-define norms across all industries.
