Eclectic speaker line-up for the DEN Summit 2018
If the collection of keynote speakers announced for the inaugural DEN Summit is anything to go by, the event will be setting a precedent for thought leadership in a number of fields.
Taking place at the National Gallery in Singapore this October 18th, the event has attracted a mix of speakers from a range of industries and backgrounds - all presenting their unique perspectives on the theme ‘Networks are Communities’.
Approaching the subject from a social, industrial, technological, cultural, and artistic perspectives, the speakers will touch on the role that decentralised engagement networks play in the future of community building and global connectivity.
