Debating the Impact of Technology at In2 EMEA
During the annual In2 EMEA Innovation Summit, Weber Shandwick hosted “Expect the Unexpected,” a panel discussion focused on the impact of technology on consumers, clients and communications. Managing Director, Strategy & Insight for Weber Shandwick, Pats McDonald was joined on stage by special guests Carola Schaub, Vice President, Communications, IBM Europe and Emma Staples, Senior Social Media Manager, HSBC UK for a discussion with Paul Holmes on this core question: if volatility is the new normal, how will some of the key tensions play out in the world of data, commerce and communications?
The panel discussed a number of points including the role and application of AI and authenticity versus ever more credible fakes; issues that will coexist throughout 2019 and beyond, requiring all brands to think hard about how they behave in a world of managed tensions and complexities.
