Tim Love, Vice Chairman of the Omnicom Group, delivered the keynote address. Mr. Love spoke about the impact of technology on breaking down international boundaries and facilitating the communication and information exchange between cultures. He encouraged business leaders to "Think Like the Sun," referring to the need to think beyond one's own world and expand one's frame of reference. He also pointed out the importance of young consumers, whom he referred to as the "Global My Media Generation," a group of consumers who rely more on the Internet than on any other medium, and value word-of-mouth over either advertising or editorial content.
