The Future of Social Media: An Optimistic Take

Jon Bell, a designer who tackled disinformation at Twitter, will present a collection of inspiring feature ideas for the future of social media. Some concepts were explored by his team but never implemented, while others draw inspiration from emerging platforms and still others go further afield in challenging our ideas of what social media can be. This talk will imagine what a truly great social media experience could look like, offering a blend of practical, tangible feature ideas and broader long term goals.
