Update on the Berlin tour:

Please note this tour has now been postponed. If you are interested in joining on a future date on another tour, register your interest with Martha Williams at [email protected]. However, the good news is Mx3 Berlin and FIPP Insider continue as planned. We hope to see you there!

*******

For reference only, this was the original plan with the tour

Ahead of Media Makers Meet (Mx3 Berlin) and FIPP Insider Berlin on 19 & 20 October, we will visit Deutsche Welle and Axel Springer on 18 October with our Data & Di5ruption Tour — an opportunity to immerse yourself into the world of digital data transformation in media and build new connections.

We have up to 15 places available on the tour.

 

Data & Di5ruption Study Tour: 10+ top-notch speakers

Berlin is one of Europe’s most important hubs for digital and data transformation in the media industry. This fast-paced, one-day study tour will highlight the best of Berlin’s media shifters, including Axel Springer’s BILD and WELT; and Deutsche Welle.

The study tour delegation will learn about all things innovation: first-party data collection; GDPR and the privacy imperative; leveraging new platforms, how to engender trust in media; building data-driven products; and how to build the digital media company of the future.
