Advertising Week Europe (AWE), the continent’s largest annual gathering of advertising, creative, entertainment, marketing, media and technology industry leaders, today announced an addition to the line-up for its fifth anniversary edition, which begins on March 20.
Former Vice President Al Gore will appear in conversation with Empire Editor-in-Chief Terri White on March 23 to discuss An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth To Power, which premiered in late January at the Sundance Film Festival. Set to release later this year, a decade after the two-time Academy Award-winning landmark documentary An Inconvenient Truth was released, the new film follows Gore as he continues his decades long fight to build a more sustainable future for our planet, showing us both the escalations of the crisis and the real solutions we have close at hand.
Advertising Week Global CEO, Matt Scheckner, said: “Leveraging the Advertising Week Europe platform to shine the spotlight on climate change transcends the industry and is exactly the kind of impact issue that defines our DNA.”
The Former Vice President will join the likes of Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, who will be interviewed one-on-one by The Evening Standard, as he sets out his plans for the Capital’s creative industries. Straight from Six Nations triumph with England, head coach Eddie Jones, will discuss how to build a winning team with ESPNA. The following day, Take That front man and lead singer, Gary Barlow, will be in conversation with Facebook’s Vice President, EMEA, Nicola Mendelsohn CBE. The model, designer and philanthropist, David Gandy, will join Time Inc. UK’s editor in chief, Mark Frith, for a panel discussing how marketing to men has evolved, and where the sector is heading
