Examples of emerging media include augmented reality, smart phones, microblogs, dating apps and social networking sites. Emerging media have become crucial as people connect, create, and share new perspectives on the world and on themselves. More than ever, people feel the need, and have the ability, to stay up-to-date with their social circles and to understand the world. Seemingly overnight, and sometimes from mere rented apartments, entrepreneurs are using emerging media to create globe-spanning enterprises, and in the process are transforming the world. With increasing speed and reach, emerging media are also dramatically modifying not only social routines but also the way people experience their interior lives. Given the consequences of emerging media in the economic, political, social and cultural areas, we invite you to participate in a special international conference on the subject of "Emerging Media: Connection, Innovation & Transformation." The day-long event is scheduled for September 15, 2017 in Beijing, China. Its purpose is to explore vital research questions concerning the rise of the emerging media era.
