PICNIC '09 Conference Sessions Wednesday
TURNING POINTS: Conference Programme for Wednesday 23 September
The world as we know it has been turned upside down in recent years. Our financial system is in crisis, media and journalism are being taken over by the masses, and people are questioning the very foundations of our society.
But it's not all gloom and doom. The current situation provides a unique set of opportunities. Opportunities to re-think how societies, systems, and economies function. Opportunities to shake up the status quo. On Wednesday we'll explore these Turning Points and the opportunities they provide for change, with a special focus on Money and Media.
Take a look at what is planned for Wednesday, 23 September. Unless otherwise noted, these sessions are only open to holders of conference tickets (3-day ticket or 1-day ticket Wednesday).
