#IAM2015: EvolutionTo understand is to perceive patterns- Isaiah Berlin

Beyond trends and predictions, during the weekend we will start a discussion about what we all want to happen in the creative industries before the next decade begins.

Key topics & questions. How can we collaborate beyond silos to develop opportunities for

emerging talent? How can we foster the values of collective intelligence and internet

culture to make those opportunities more accessible? How can we keep internet age media open, decentralised and

sustainable? What are the current challenges we need to face?

It is time to connect the dots backwards, exchange ideas and stories in order to understand the context, identify opportunities and start building better futures, together.
