We're pleased to share a sampling of content sessions delivered by our premier Mashable Connect speakers. Stay tuned for the announcement of a complete agenda in the coming weeks.

  • Predicting the Future: Duane Bray, partner at IDEO, will assess our current digital tools, mobile apps and social networks to get a sense of what the future will really be. He'll explore how the role of collective intelligence, multi-threaded narratives and new literacies will shape the next digital landscape.
  • After SOPA/PIPA: What Winning (One) Means: Lawrence Lessig, Professor of Law and Leadership at Harvard Law School, will share his vision on the future of digital creativity and technology innovation in a post SOPA and PIPA world.
  • The Truth About Online Reputation: Joe Fernandez, Founder and CEO of Klout, will sit down with Mashable to discuss the truth about online reputation. How much influence does your reach online affect you in the offline world? What does your Klout score really mean? There are just a few of the questions that we'll ask Joe Fernandez during our fireside chat.
  • How to Reinvent the Web: Roger McNamee, Managing Director of Elevation Partners, will talk about why the concepts of the "web" and the "Internet" are increasingly obsolete in the face of the new app-centric model. He'll discuss how to reinvent the web to preserve the spirit of openness that has defined the current generation and examine the role of mobile technologies and their influence on how we navigate digital content.
  • Why Sound Will Be Bigger Than Video: What will be the dominate form of media? Alexander Ljung, Founder and CEO of SoundCloud, will explain why sound will be bigger than video.
  • Mobile-first Social Networking: Meghan Peters, Mashable's community manager, will lead a discussion on mobile-first social networking and ask the question: are these the communities of the future?
  • Web 3.0: Curating Big Data is Future of the Web: Burt Herman, co-founder of Storify, will look at how humans and algorithms, along with media and technology, are all coming together to help us make sense of the world in this age of information overload.
  • The Evolution of the Second Screen: Christina Warren, Mashable's entertainment editor, will moderate a panel with Umami, Discovery Digital Media and TVPlus to discuss the evolution of the second screen. This discussion will look at the impact the second screen is having on how content is produced and the huge potential for marketing to this type of engagement.
