Our exclusive pre-agenda offer for Mx3 Barcelona – summit for pioneers driving innovation in and across media verticals – ends one week from now, on 7 December.
The Agenda
The agenda brings international speakers from the creator-led, consumer, and B2B media world. While we work on confirming final speakers, you can take a peek at the draft agenda here. Please note it remains subject to change, including the final running order.
