Awareness Reform: Engineering "Perception Shift"

Monday, March 14
5:00PM - 6:00PM

Four Seasons
Ballroom AB
98 San Jacinto Blvd

With so much content competing for our attention, getting any message through the clutter is a challenge. But a new generation of activist disruptors is harnessing the power of digital and traditional media to engineer perception shift at the national level. This session will feature thought leaders from the worlds of music, digital media and nonprofit providing detailed case studies on campaigns including #ICantBreathe and President Obama’s appearance on “Between Two Ferns” -- needle-moving, game-changing efforts that changed the national mood and helped drive social change. Onstage participants will include representatives from Funny or Die and Got Your 6.
