The Internet and its digital platforms are allowing everyone, everywhere, to connect with billions of people throughout the world for the first time in history. This gigantic step forward is making a powerful impact on the sectors of life dedicated to culture and content. In fact, today music, videos and books are more available than ever before to the public.
Culture, creativity and the entertainment industry are bursting with potential. Can social networking help these industries become platforms for growth and innovation? What new challenges are emerging? What do those already participating in the transition to the digital age have to say about it?
These are the questions that Big Tent Rome sought to answer by bringing together representatives of the political, institutional and performing arts industries to debate the subject of culture and creativity in Italy and the future that awaits Italian society in the digital age.
