Every digital product or service can be gamed or exploited, and this is especially true of today’s media and information environment.

This talk exposes how it’s being done, and outlines ways to reclaim the media space from frauds and fakers.
The talk will be followed by an audience Q&A and drinks reception. Email your questions ahead of the event to Turing Events.
