Here you can find the accurate description of what’s discussed in this episode. If you feel a bit lost, if you are new to this, or if the topics seem to be too complicated, don’t worry. You can take your time and listen to the show while you follow this post that I have already prepared for you.

FIR Speakers and Speeches: Robert Scoble and Shel Israel in London on ‘Age of Context’ #AoCUK #CIPR

[L-R] Shel Israel and Robert Scoble

Five converging forces - mobile, social media, data, sensors and location - are reshaping our lives and will have profound effects on each of us individually, in the workplace and in our society at large during the coming decade.

This central premise was at the heart of a compelling discussion that took place at Google Campus in London on October 28, 2013.

The event - organized by the CIPR and sponsored by Precise - brought Shel Israel and Robert Scoble to the stage. In a lively 75-minute conversation moderated by FIR co-host Neville Hobson, the two authors of the highly-rated book, Age of Context, shared their insights and opinions with an audience of about 100 public relations practitioners and others, many of whom came armed with their own questions and opinions.

In the book’s foreword, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff tells us to “be prepared to see the future in these pages.” Both authors helped everyone in the room see precisely that.

(Video recording: The event was also video recorded by the CIPR. Check the CIPR’s CIPRtv YouTube channel for information.)
