The audience is no longer a passive receiver of information – they set priorities, create conversation and talk back to journalists. Award-winning digital channel AJ+ engages and interacts with millions across platforms and languages by creating content that matters to people. Dima Khatib, Managing Director, will discuss what it takes to be a successful digital content maker today. Dima Khatib, Managing Director, AJ+ 10:00 SESSION 1: FUTURE MAKERS AND MAKERS OF THE FUTURE What's the impact of who's telling the story on how the story is told? How prominent has the role of the "maker" become in the production and distribution of content nowadays? In this session, we engage with some future makers and makers of the future to find some answers to these questions. Let’s Talk About Sex.

The show revamped RAI’s free OTT service, which includes the live stream of 14 TV channels, web-only exclusive products, exclusive sports products, and much more. Elena Capparelli, Head of RAI Digital, RAI 14:20 KEYNOTE The Idea of Curation Why did “curation” become such a buzzword, used everywhere from its old heartland of museums and galleries to websites and restaurants? What happened was that the context changed. We went from a world of scarcity to one of too much: more information and media than we could ever possibly appreciate. This is the context in which curation became a buzzword. But understood properly, it is more than that; it's a vital economic and cultural tool for the overloaded 21st century. Michael Bhaskar, Writer, Researcher and Digital Publisher. 15:00 SESSION 3: NEW WAYS OF STORYTELLING In our journey through storytelling, it’s now time to explore further the innovation process, focusing on format and content.
