    The digital challenge: infrastructure, content and business models

      This session in the latest round of Aspen Seminars for Leaders opened with the observation that the digital revolution is still underway, and that whilst the transformations so far have been radical, there are many changes – if not actual reversals – of direction yet to come. Even American authorities were aware of this when, not more than twenty years ago, they chose to expand the internet: today, there are 2 billion 500 thousand internet users worldwide.

      White noise: quality of life in the age of information overload

        The Friends of Aspen group met in Bergamo at the G. Donizetti Theater for the 15th edition of their annual conference. Besides taking stock of the association’s recent year since Beatrice Trussardi’s nomination as president, the meeting also served to address the issue of how to reconcile a better quality of life with the need to manage the information and communication overload inherent in today’s society.

        The telecoms and media industries: what’s next?

          The internet revolution has brought great changes to the communications industry, both in terms of infrastructures and contents. For infrastructures, the scenario shows a different level of investment, a change in keeping with regulation and new business models. Today’s prospects are for a Pan-European map that should provide guidelines for the sector’s new organization.

          For a new creative leadership: culture and innovation for economic growth

            The 14th Annual Conference of the Friends of Aspen, held at the Palazzo Litta in Milan, featured a debate on the ways in which a combination of culture and innovation could give rise to new forms of leadership capable of revitalizing Italian economic life – particularly its entrepreneurial scene.

            As is now customary, the Conference – chaired for the first time by the group’s new president, Beatrice Trussardi – also provided an opportunity to introduce new members to the group and to present the group’s activities to them.
