“Coming soon: A big-brained summit featuring some of the world’s foremost scientists, artists, businesspeople, media figures, writers and all-around cultural visionaries… It’s the Toronto International Marshall McLuhan Festival of the Future,” and it’s being launched by the man behind the very successful Toronto International Film Festival.
