Vertical videos and YouTube stars. Podcasts, films, and Instagram posts.
At a time of crisis and distraction, the planet’s stories can take new shapes to inform and influence new audiences.
At this year’s Summit, the most compelling student storytellers will take the mic and the stage alongside the most creative media leaders. They are redefining how we communicate in the age of algorithms.
Through live feedback sessions, questions, and conversations, we’ll explore how to cut through the noise of disinformation and polarization to tell stories that inform, engage, and drive innovation.
