THE FUTURE OF STORYTELLING: VR, GAMING AND TECHNOLOGY #2morrow2gether

I'm honored to moderate the NALIP Media Summit panel The Future of Storytelling: VR, Gaming and Technology with Kamal Sinclair, Alex Rivera and Jens Kull on Saturday, June 27, 2015 at 10:30 AM. What are the opportunities and challenges of this new ‘story-scape’? Are there unique models for Latino involvement and expression? 

Here's some background information. Please share insights and recommend links and moderator questions by email.  You can also submit questions for Media Summit speakers using #nmsFUTURE. Thanks!
