Consumer Revolution, Media Evolution

Media 360 returns in 2008 following the sell-out success of 2007.

Now in its fifth year, Media 360 has built a strong reputation around its high-calibre participants, incisive content and impressive venues. Bringing together leading advertisers, brands, media owners and agency planners, we unite the most prolific thinkers from all sides of the global media industry to tackle the big industry issues, from ad avoidance to consolidation and the fragmentation of media channels.

This year`s event will feature more clients, more entertainment and more insights from the industry`s leading figures. Through its trademark relaxed and luxurious atmosphere, you can share ideas with the biggest movers and shakers in the industry and forge vital contacts for the future.

The programme, pooled from extensive research with clients, agencies and media owners will tackle the most pressing issues facing the media industry in 2008 and beyond.

Join us in 2008 to debate:

New technologies. New challenges? How do you connect with citizens of the new media age?

Do advertisers really need agencies? As channels fragment and more and more specialist agencies spring up, how can clients get guaranteed value from the multitude of agencies that service them?

Will the digital bubble burst? As platforms converge and integration gains momentum, will advertisers continue to embrace new channels or has digital already peaked?

Is increasing regulation putting on the brakes? How far will the regulatory squeeze go?
