We are very honored by the FICC for hosting the first annual States of Minds Media & Technology Platform, and we are thankful to have been given the opportunity to partner with one of the most prestigious Israeli business organizations.
Through lectures and discussion panels, the Media and Technology experts platform will provide a real time assessment of the most edgy and innovative topics within their respective fields and countries. The event will also focus on how the media industry, when coupled with technological advances, is a contributor to a “Creative Economy” and helps to inspire social change.
Participating social change influencers will be given a unique opportunity to consider how they can contribute to an emerging and innovative media industry between the US and Israel.
The Media and Technology event will also emphasize the impact of the two fields, through engaging speakers, and panels, as mediums to discuss how the two fields jointly contribute to create exponential creative growth, as well as to a “Creative Economy."
