PANEL DISCUSSION: Public Diplomacy for the Digital Future

24 Oct 2018

Digital innovation is re-writing the rules of our economy and society. It calls for a new set of global public policies to facilitate these technological advances as well as safeguarding the rights of the consumer/public. To successfully navigate this rapidly-evolving, ever more complicated, transnational policy arena requires unprecedented international cooperation and cross-sector collaboration.

This panel discussion will explore how collaborations between the business sector and public diplomacy will shape the digital future. Representatives from the public and private sector will join for a conversation on how digital innovation is re-writing the rules of our economy and society, and its implications for the future of business-diplomatic partnerships.

Particular focus will be placed on discussing effective frameworks for advancing digital cooperation through multi-stakeholder diplomacy, and identifying the required organizational capabilities and partnership mechanisms for future success.

Speakers will include:
• Fadi Chehadé, Panel Member, U.N. Secretary-General's High Panel on Digital Cooperation
• Moira Whelan, Founding Partner, BlueDot Strategies and Board Member of the Digital Diplomacy Coalition
• Daniel Sepulveda, Vice President for Global Government Relations at MediaMath

Additional speakers to be announced.
