TORONTO – Just ahead of its Discoverability Summit next month, the CRTC and NFB announced plans to co-host a youth edition on Monday at the CBC Atrium in Toronto.
The event will feature discussions with millennials on how they consume and discover content, and the ideas and strategies generated from the Youth Summit will not only help experts and leaders better understand this generation, but directly be embedded into the program for the Discoverability Summit on May 10 – 11, 2016.
Heritage Minister Mélanie Joly will be a guest of honour at the event, YouTube and Vine stars Andres B and Mama Bee from the Eh Bee Family will be keynote speakers, and expert participants will include writer and media maker Nicole Bélanger, MediaSmarts’ director of education Matthew Johnson, and CBC/SRC president and CEO Hubert T. Lacroix.
