Radio Killed The Video Star
11:15am - 12:15pm
Sometimes called the most visual medium because of the way it taps directly into our imagination, audio media popularity has never waned. This session will consider audio as a medium for immersive storytelling, dissemination of news and information and interactivity in the form of meetings and networking. Each topic will reference activity — what’s being done now, innovation — how is it made possible and potential — what more can we do?
