Future of Communications Keynote Power Panel

Our main day of programming will kick off with a dynamic roundtable of all-star business leaders gathered from across the C-suite to discuss where we’re going in the wake of a pivotal election, and why it’s more important than ever to stand united. Panelists from Bumble, Pinterest and Edelman — and more to be announced — will discuss strategies for bridging divides, how they are working together to shape culture and messaging, and practical examples of forward-thinking tactics to drive enterprises towards unified business objectives.
