Keynote "The Science of Story"

When neuroscientists and cognitive psychologists finally turned their attention to stories, they discovered a key to human behavior. Why do we tell each other stories? Why do we want to immerse ourselves in them? And what happens when we do? The answers help explain a lot of what is going on around us today, from Black Lives Matter to the rise of the Flat-Earthers.

The Story So Far ...

In the past few months, we have all become part of a great, global story. A story that made us leave the world as we knew it behind and set off on a journey into the unknown. For those responsible in companies, the question arises as to what role they assign to their brand in this story. Does it act as a sponsor or consolation, does it offer refuge and distraction, or does it strengthen cohesion and promote the community?
