We kick started the first day of Content Chaos with a dynamic discussion between Dyllan McGee and Liz Kaplow, followed by panel discussions around The Age of the Internet Star, Real Time Marketing and Data. We unveiled our latest research study, conducted in conjunction with Ad Age, and some of our members showcased their best work. We wrapped the first day with an intimate Q&A with the one and only Arianna Huffington.
