DIGITAL DELIVERY
How will exciting and revolutionary changes
in the delivery of information, entertainment,
and communication impact our society? Impact
our relationships? What new regulations
might have to be enacted? What boundaries
might be lifted? Will the issue of “public
domain” be redefined? Will you ever
have to leave your home? Will you be “connected”
24/7?

11:00 – 12:00 am ROUNDTABLE:
WHO’S IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT?
Will there be a power shift from West to
East in the not so distant future? Can the
rising economic success of the East influence
business thinking and leadership? Will Eastern
culture redefine alliance building, trade
relations, branding, design, service? Will
an Eastern focus on mediation and intuition
pre-empt or outweigh the more traditional
Western approaches of quantitative, linear,
and logical reasoning? Is the West in decline?

Who will lead the way and which companies
will set new standards?
Moderator: Denise Tobin-McCarthy, Senior

3:00 – 4:00 pm ROUNDTABLE:
CHASING THE BABY BOOM
Is everyone 60? Is everyone 21? What is
the real portrait of society in Canada,
the United States, and across the globe?
Where is the strongest buying power? When
will there be a transfer in power and money
in the marketplace and within cultures?
Should companies embrace the new face of
the “over 50” market or focus
on the Baby Boom echo? How can companies
discover new opportunity in Canada and around
the world?
