So it's confirmed: Faris Yakob speaks at Idea Forum in June and he will cover stuff on transmedia communication and generating transmedia ideas. There is also a workshop involved...
I have been reading some stuff about Faris. he apparently got started at OMD and then moved directly to Naked wehere he worked on some cool accounts like 118-118, Yahoo, Sony etc. People at local Leo might be particularly interested in listening to him because he was chief strategist for the Orange account for 2 years. He was also toying with being a trend analyst for the insight team at Naked (something I always wanted to do) but what you might not know is that he used to write for Maxim the mag :-)
He has a blog of his own
here and he's set up a networking site for planners, kindof complementing Russell's plannersphere, which you can join if you want

Russell Davies is a confirmed speaker at the Idea Forum in June and organizers have disclosed that his workshop on the second day will focus on solving real life, Romanian communication problems. So if you've ever had a brief you felt less than happy with, this is a good time to get some insight from The Man :-)
