Agenda at a glance
New Ways of Seeing
Commerce has become more immersive, more interactive, and more fragmented than ever before. But this isn’t the first time that technological innovation has changed the way we see the world.
In this keynote discussion, we’ll explore the rich history of visual arts and media, and how Commerce is a patron of those art forms.
The Age of the Critique
A new class of creators focused on improving the world of commerce has emerged. As ecommerce becomes a more central part of people’s lives, critique on the “best” or “right way” to engage in commerce becomes more important.
In this interview, we’ll explain ways that creators and brands can work together to improve customer experiences.
When Selling Out is Buying In
Modern Prophets
Art, activism, commerce, and culture have always been intertwined. In this fireside chat, we’ll explore the ideas of the most innovative thinkers of the modern era and the ways their thinking is shaping our future.
John Berger, Marshall McLuhan, Norbert Wiener, and others actively predicted the world we live in today. This session will uncover how their ideas further illuminate our not-so-distant future ahead.
Genre Collapse
Doesn’t it seem like every past trend and nostalgic piece of media are converging? You’re not alone in feeling that way.
In this interview, we’ll explore how trends form, and how those trends lead to subcultures; ultimately influencing what, and where, we buy.
