Sam’s second presentation, *Welcome to the future – your content business in 2030,* took the audience on a journey to 2030 and asked them what kind of business decisions they would need to make to future proof themselves. ![](https://67bricks.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/67-bricks-shine-at-contech-week-2020-content-690a6f30.jpg?width=900&height=458&name=67-bricks-shine-at-contech-week-2020-content-690a6f30.jpg)Other event highlights included a visionary presentation by Stephen Pavlovich of Conversion on taking experimental approaches to support customer decisions, a session by Bettina Goerner, Springer Nature on data asset monetization and a brutally brilliant presentation on the promise and perils of new technologies by Ian Mulvaney at BMJ.    *Great session @samherbert I took extensive notes!* Sarah Boyd, Head of Digital Experience, Emerald *How do you win Best New Product 2030?
