enrich the debate over new media and the future of innovation.
Meet the Media Guru is a programme of seminars offering to a large and
diversified audience a unique opportunity to meet and liase with international
forerunners.
Meet the Media Guru stages projects and ideas. Over the years has become a
point of reference for a growing community looking for inspiration and
international perspective.
Meet the Media Guru pays particular attention to the format. Using multimedia
communication tries to create an immersive ambiance and to involve participants
(those who phisically attend and those connected on the web).
