Dedicated stages
Media Fast Forward invites its partners to cocurate a session about a topic of their expertise, a challenge that they’re facing, or an opportunity for future media.
Closing talkshow
During a closing talkshow, we gather different experts in the grand Henry Le Boeuf, one of Belgium’s most beautiful concert halls. Here, we build one story with the different topics discussed during the day. What is the impact of media and technology on our culture and society? How do tackle these new challenges? Which steps do we take together in the future?
