• Keynote - Joining the dots

  by Maggie Philbin

  Steve Jobs' famous quote defines innovation. But how do you know where the dots are? Maggie looks back on her experiences as a Tomorrow's World reporter for clues in the technology she showed for the very first time, from digital cameras to electrically heated paint and asks whether we're doing enough to encourage the innovators of tomorrow.

• The Future of Storytelling

  by Greg Williams

  We constantly use narrative both in our personal and professional lives. Today brands see storytelling as a more powerful tool than traditional advertising, and individuals are seizing on new methods and technologies to express themselves and interact directly with readers. Technology is making storytelling richer, more interactive, more improvised and social – and is transforming audiences into active participants.

  How will the multiple platforms and media now available to us affect the way that we tell stories? Will it allow us to tell different kinds of stories? And how will our understanding of narrative be shaped?
