One of our favorite parts of planning for AWNY is deciding where to start—and accepting that we will probably change the plan once we arrive.
This year’s stages and lounges make a strong case for wandering. Great Minds is built for the headline conversations. Insights promises ideas with immediate application. Media follows entertainment, streaming and the competition for attention, while Creativity brings creators, pop culture and sport into the mix.
We are also watching the Innovation Stage for challengers and what comes next, the Tech Stage for AI, adtech and data, and the Marketplace Stage for the intersection of commerce, creativity and growth. The Scale Up Lounge adds conversations around gaming, health, connected TV and careers.
Our strategy: choose one anchor session each day, follow the strongest questions across stages and compare notes as a team. The best AWNY schedule is not necessarily the fullest one. It is the one that sends you home thinking differently.
