Mentions of change in the industry have almost become a cliche, regularly dropped into conversations to snuff out an awkward silence. Acknowledging change is certainly a step in the right direction, but far more challenging is taking active steps to protect businesses against the impact of the shifts that might be occurring around them.
Now in its fifth year, the 2017 edition of AUT Media Lab aims to bridge the gap between talking about change and actually doing something about it.
A collection of award-winning media agency leaders will take to the stage to give the audience insights and practical guidance on how to navigate the increasingly challenging media world.
Facilitated by Zenith Optimedia managing director Stuart Rutherford and Ikon managing director Zac Stephenson, this year’s edition of the event will include insights from the following speakers:
