For your diary – Tug Life II Digital vs Real Life Expo

We are very excited about next week’s talks presented by Tug at their Digital Vs Real Life expo in London next week.  The digital media agency is hosting a week-long series of events and discussions on how digital media is driving real life behaviour and how to pivot digital media in a way that will engage the real world in turn.

If you find that the boundaries between your physical and virtual realities are blurring more and more, you may want to learn more about the digital impact on our physical being.  The expo kicks off on Tuesday 10th May with talks along this theme, Digital Lives.

The high speed evolution of the digital realm has brought convenience and transience in equal measure.  Attention spans are shorter and audience’s hunger for a fast turnover of new information is more insatiable than ever.  How do we keep up?  Wednesday’s series, entitled Conversations at the Speed of the Market addresses this issue:

13:30 – 15:30 Content & Creativity. Faster vs. Better
