To kick of the larger conversation around "Building our Future: A Blueprint for Leading in a Connected Society", Echo is hosting this exclusive Salon conversation on The Future of Brands and Media. While there are many questions to explore, we will be primarily focused on painting a picture of what success looks like in the future we are now building towards. We hope to collectively get a better understanding of the new relationship between brands and media, their respective roles in society and what it takes to be a leader in this newly converged, real time world where conversations are beginning to trump advertising in measurable ways.

As we have done with our other Salons, the primary intention is to encourage a single large group dialog, which often breaks apart for smaller conversations and then comes back together. This is an intimate event at an exclusive venue and as such there is limited capacity. We are inviting all guests and those granted VIP access to be active participants in the conversation.

As one of the key topics in the Building Our Future video project, we will be recording this event and interviewing as many of the paticipants as possible with the goal of editing our interview footage into an hour long documentary which we will release online and perhaps at film festivals. So if you have important insights to share, are working on building the future of media or brands, please request an invite to join us for this important conversation.
