Human Touch: Men and Machine Transforming for The Better
There’s been a lot of debate and fear-mongering around how AI will affect humans in the future. Will computers eventually replace us? Who is going to regulate it? Elon Musk recently even commented that AI could be more dangerous than North Korea. Sonja Moosburger and Limor Schweitzer of Mediamrkstaturn Retail Group and RoboSavvy respectively will look to combat these claims, instead discussing how machine’s data analytical prowess and man’s creativity can work as one. As we move closer to a world in which all marketing will become data driven this seminar is a must attend.

Tom and Kevin will be discussing the all things video, from new and emerging formats such as Gifs and live streams, to how a mobile first world, coupled with increased video consumption is changing the way that advertisers, creators and producers convey their message to their audience.
Preparing for GDPR: Embracing the inevitable regulations
2018 is a landmark for in terms of data protection, as the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will come into effect as of May 28th 2018. The new GDPR, put in place by the EU to regulate the use of personal data by business and entities is the biggest shake-up in data protection law in the last 20 years.
