Keynote speaker: Paul Keller - KnowledgeLand
BUSINESS-MODELS & STRATEGIES
We live in an information society. We cannot escape information.
We look at individual business strategies that have proven successful in their ability to adapt to the burgeoning attention economy. How can media workers make a living in this attention economy? What is the relationship between corporate media and individual voices? Which business models are sustainable?
Mini-presentations by: Ulrike Reinhard (www.whoiswho.de), Francesco Federico (www.frandrake.com)
Keynote speaker: Ethan Zuckerman - Berkman Center for Internet and Society, Global Voices
CREATIVITY & INTERFACES
Information is abundant. The good we are short of is not information itself - but the capacity to do something with it, to select it and use it. So how do we handle the overkill? How do we navigate in the flood? What keeps us from drowning? Corporate culture believes that “trusted brands” will help us in our orientation. We believe that one key element enabling better navigation is the interface: it is connecting the wealth of available knowledge with the users looking for answers, and it is connecting users of like minds and interests.
Mini-presentations by: Jure Cuhalev (Zemanta.com), Karel Platteau (Wobbing.eu), Andreas Fuchs (Soup.io)

SOCIETY & IDENTITIES
Technology profoundly changes the way we live, communicate and do business. It also affects who we are and the way we experience ourselves, others and the world in which we all live. So is there a need for “identity management”? Will our individuality be superseded by the possibilities of playing multiple roles in the digital arenas? We will discuss issues of individuality and role play and look into the notion of “identity” in the 21st century.
Mini-presentations by: Yaroslav Azhnyuk (InternetInitiatives), Emin Huseynzade (Sirr), Ayman Abdel Nour (www.all4syria.org)
