Initiated in 2016 after an evening of debate between French and international leaders, the ‘Night of Ideas‘ (Nuit des Idées) is a festival that encourages people across the world to take part in the free flow of ideas and knowledge. Every year on the Night of Ideas, cultural and educational institutions across the country facilitate the exchange of thoughts and ideas by hosting forums, round table discussions or performances and workshops – all focused on a central theme!
This year’s theme for debate – ‘More?‘ – inspired us to reflect on the various forms of media we consume on a day to day basis. Posters, hoardings, reels and video games are all a part of an ever-growing media pool. And yet with AI and VR, we sense that there’s more to come! The possibilities are endless. But, is there a need for more? Do we have space for more? How will it affect the way we view the world and those in it? How will it impact the way we spend our time?
Join us as we ponder the future of advertising, marketing or entertainment in a conversation with three experts from different sectors of the communications industry![divider]
