We learned about global trends in the media, topics of interest to our colleagues from other countries, and how many significant challenges facing the industry are being solved. In recent years, technologies, including artificial intelligence, have been actively developing. We are very interested in the opinions of our colleagues on how they see the future of the media sphere.

Particular attention was paid to attracting young people to the field. Student groups from 100 universities around the world were invited.
