Highlights + Reflections
The mediaX Highlights + Reflections book describes six of the many virtuous cycles of inspiration and insights cultivated during two decades (2001-2022). Each topic reflects on how socio-technical and cultural changes influenced the dialogues between academic and business colleagues. The related research programs at Stanford University and the mediaX events that inspired them are referenced.
Catalyst Culture Playbook
The Catalyst Culture Playbook describes how the program operated, told by its participants. It includes information about the organization’s emergence and evolution, as well as the academic and corporate affiliates of mediaX. It is the hope of the mediaX community that tomorrow’s visionaries can use elements of the mediaX experience to become catalysts for the future.
