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.
