The next decade could be one of the most transformative in human history — and Dex Hunter-Torricke will join us at DK2024 to explore the possibilities and the important challenges communicators face in the era of artificial intelligence.
DK Festival, a festival of creativity and communications taking place at the Hotel Lone in Rovinj 11 — 14 April, is bringing you a communicator with arguably the most impressive resume in the industry globally — former Head of Communications for SpaceX, the first Executive Communications Lead at Facebook, the brilliant mind behind Mark Zuckerberg’s famous speeches, and currently the Director of Global Communications at Google’s DeepMind AI research lab — Dex Hunter-Torricke powered by Google!
With the esteemed title of one of the New York Times best-selling ghostwriters, Hunter-Torricke’s illustrious career has been marked by over a decade of work at the heart of the technology industry, during which he managed communications for industry titans such as Elon Musk and Eric Schmidt, as well as Silicon Valley and United Nations leaders. Today, he is in charge of communications and marketing at Google’s DeepMind — one of the world’s leading artificial intelligence laboratories that is building the next generation of AI systems in a secure and responsible manner. DeepMind has recently developed Gemini, Google’s large multimodal language model, whose prelaunch MIT Technology Review described as the pinnacle of AI hype.

There is a high probability that artificial intelligence will play a transformative role in today’s society — with new technologies that will change the way billions of people live and work, and Hunter-Torricke at DeepMind is the main guy for writing the next chapter on science, technology, economy, and society worldwide. In his talk Beyond Disruption: The Future of Communications and How to Tell a Human Story in an AI Age, he will share key lessons about transitioning to the center of change that lead to opportunities, understanding connectivity as a universal force, and embracing the emergence of a global generation.
Let’s put artificial intelligence aside for a moment. It would be interesting to ask our latest festival speaker about the lessons he learned while playing chess with Zuckerberg or about Musk’s stream of consciousness. So many intriguing and untold stories at DK2024, said Nikola Žinić, a member of the DK Festival Organizing Committee.
Let us remind you, Hunter-Torricke will be joined by Dan Ariely, a globally renowned behavioral economist, psychologist, and scientist who studies human behavior; Eugene Cheong powered by ENNA, a creative rebel from Asia with over a thousand recognitions for his work; Alex Partridge powered by Konzum, the founder of UNILAD and LADbible, whose platforms have reached a billion people; Shivvy Jervis, a renowned global expert connecting digital innovations with neuroscience; Micaela Mantegna, the first lawyer specialized in regulations and copyrights of video games who will take us on a journey through the controversial metaverse — and a series of other major global names in the industry who will offer invaluable experiences, enviable knowledge, and top-notch insights.
All creatives, marketers, digital professionals, media representatives, and other communicators who wish to join national and global market leaders this year can find information about participation at https://danikomunikacija.com/tickets.
