OPENING LUNCHEON & KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Kyle Stapleton - "The South's Got Something to Say"
How many cities can claim that culture is their #1 export? In a time when people increasingly can live anywhere, what’s the value of a place? To be somewhere – and especially to stay there – must mean something, and we can learn a lot about that from Atlanta, a rapidly growing city whose #1 export is its influential culture. Learn a bit about what Atlanta “means” in this talk, and with any luck, it may even help you shift your thinking around the function of advertising in society.
That is, you might just find your own Something to Say.
