2016 Media Impact Forum LIVESTREAM -- Morning Sessions

Our annual Media Impact Forum will be held on June 28, 2016. We will be livestreaming it on the OVEE platform to make it a more interactive experience for you. You'll be able to ask questions and chat with other livestream participants.

This year at the Forum, we’ll explore the networks, data and collaborations that support and amplify powerful narratives in film, journalism virtual reality and more. We’ll also celebrate our third annual Media Impact Festival, where we’ll honor the interactive media projects selected by our nominating committee, and connect with the extraordinary media makers to experience their innovations.

The OVEE will be set up as a two-part series: morning sessions (9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.) and afternoon sessions (1:30-5:00p.m.) We will break for lunch from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m.
