CSForum 2013, Helsinki

“Organising CS Forum Helsinki was like opening a gigantic window to the colourful world of content strategy, revealing its many shades and nuances. Working in a market area like Finland, with a population of 5 million people using varying language, we took a broad look at how companies are finding their inner publishers. We summed it up in this short documentary. Take a look! In a few words, hosting CS Forum was a great journey and learning experience for the whole Vapa Media team. We would never give it up.” — Ida Hakola, Conference Manager, 2013

CSForum 2013 was hosted by Vapa Media in Helsinki from the 11th to 13th of September. The original program is replicated below.
