Watch FiveCurrents Founder Scott Given’s keynote presentation as he explains the creative process of building ceremonies: creating and producing relevant content that both honors the culture of the host country with universal audience appeal, what he looks for in a creative team, and how he takes the seed of a promising idea and amplifies it to the scale of mega-spectacle for live and broadcast audiences to be awed across the globe.
