Now marking its 5th year, CMS's International Technology, Media and Communications conference gathers delegates representing the spectrum of technology, media and communications players, plus their financiers and investors. Join us.

From childhood, we are taught that "sharing is caring". Being exposed to diversity of thought is pivotal to the development of abilities to learn, compromise and lead. Yet some startling headlines have shown that sharing can cause harm as well as good. What happens as we apply these lessons in a business context, in light of digital advances?

What are the key technical, policy, commercial and ethical building blocks that must be in place to meet the needs of a digital society that is inclusive, sustainable, commercially viable, but secure?
