Opening Keynote: Leadership - from Experimentation to Transformation
A new era of business reinvention is dawning. Organizations are facing an unprecedented convergence
of technological, social and regulatory forces. As artificial intelligence (AI), automation, Internet of
Things (IoT), blockchain and 5G become pervasive; their combined impact will reshape standard
business architectures. The "outside-in" digital transformation of the past decade is giving way to the
"inside-out" potential of data exploited with these exponential technologies. Many organizations already
experimented with AI and moved simple workloads to the cloud. Now, there is a new chapter opening,
moving from experimentation to true transformation, with speed and scale.
Harriet Green, CEO and Chairman, IBM Asia Pacific.

The Media and Telco Arena: Consolidation, Competition or Collaboration?
Music and video streaming services are today the dominating source for digital media consumption.
Media (OTT, broadcasters, Pay-TV) companies are looking for user growth and telco partnerships are an
organic fit due to their central role in enabling data consumption, but also thanks to capabilities in user
authentication and monetisation. In this panel discussion, we explore topics that are relevant to both
parties in the streaming ecosystem, focusing on:

cannibalisation?
*	 What	happens	when	bundle	partnerships	run	out?	Free	trials	are	alluring	to	telco	subscribers,	but	
how can the two parties work together to make sure users don't churn out?
*	 New	revenue	streams	and	marketing	opportunities	enabled	by	existing	partnerships

CLOSING KEYNOTE: GEOPOLITICS, TECHNOLOGY, MEDIA AND THE STATE
5.30pm

Closing Keynote: Technology, Media, and the State
From the spinning jenny to self-driving cars, from the printing press to 5G, technology constantly
changes the way we live. Whether 5G or Blockchain, IoT or AI, technology is supposed to be an
elemental force transcending borders and solving humanity's problems. The scientists who invented the
atomic bomb had similar hopes. Our world system is bounded by national interests. The modern state
arose alongside and because of modern technology. The media, whose primary purpose is to be the
state's critic, can create reality as easily as it can reveal human truth. In the post-World War II world,
technology and media reigned over the state. That balance of power is now shifting. The state now
seeks to use technology and media for its own purposes. Geopolitics is no longer simply the context in
which we operate - it is the single biggest risk to our futures.
Jacob Sharpiro, Director of Analysis, Geopolitical Futures
