Douglas Rushkoff is one of today's most engaging and perceptive commentators on the impact of technology and media on organizations and society. A globally-recognized media theorist and thought leader on marketing and internet culture, he explores how communications affect our values and our lives - from how to raise children in a media-driven culture to how to find and impart meaning in business, education and even religion. In this lecture, Rushkoff explains the complexities adherent in corporations trying to move towards a more transparent model, and the value of learning how to program.

Presenters at the conference are brilliant speakers ranging from poets, philosophers and economists, to scientists, artists and futurists.
