The full itinerary of the two-day festival has been released<\/h3>\n

But these six cool sessions in particular have made us thoroughly excited…<\/p>\n

(Get the full agenda of STEP2019 here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

1. Brand Stories: Creating Powerful Experiences<\/h3>\n

Storytelling is all the rage and is the most fastest (not to forget native) way to connect with your audience. The right brand narrative has the potential to increase the value of your business exponentially.<\/p>\n

Attend this session to get to know what brands are doing, and how they are adapting to the changing trends to stay relevant. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

2. Influencers Debate: Where do you draw the line?<\/h3>\n

If you want to know what they really think about being influencers, how influential they really are, or what regulations, transparency, fan base and working with brands really entails, this is the place to be.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

5. Decision Making: Marrying People & Machines<\/h3>\n

With the advent of AI almost taking over our entire lives, listening to the panel of experts talking about the reliability of AI makes perfect sense.<\/p>\n

From debating decision making to AI when does AI and people’s brain meet? And, what will be the socio-political impacts of AI decision making…it’s all going down here. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

6. Curating Entertainment Content For Millennials<\/h3>\n

If you’re in the content creation business for the region, this is a MUST!<\/p>\n

Entertainment is going digital and moving towards streaming, online, on-demand. The topic of the debate will be focused on how different media industries -music, TV, film, etc are adapting to the trending content in the region. Super fascinating stuff!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
