SPEAKERS AND CONFERENCES Donnie Simpson, Broadcasting Hall of Fame Monday 15 April, 1pm to 2pm, Main Stage Donnie Simpson has been called a trailblazer and a true media legend. He was given his own radio show at the age of 15, and after eight years he became the morning show host and program director for WKYS-FM in Washington DC, leading the station to unprecedented ratings success. This followed with an extensive career in broadcast and film, paving his way in TV history when joining America’s first Black television network, BET. In 2020, he was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame, and in 2024 the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame. Always humble, Donnie said: “Being in any Hall of Fame never crossed my mind. I was just doing what I do. But I’m thrilled and forever grateful people felt that way about me. I’m so blessed.” While adored by millions, perhaps his biggest fan is President Barack Obama. On the presidential campaign trail in 2008, Obama stopped to record and send a congratulatory video to Simpson Casey Neistat, Do what you can’t Wednesday 17 April, 10.30am to 11.30am, Main Stage YouTube star, digital creator, filmmaker sensation and multimedia leader Casey Neistat empowers creators to think outside the box and redefine their creative potential.
