"I love the theme of the summit because for me what we do is ultimately about impact and there can be no impact without people being activated." Arianna Huffington, editor-in-chief, The Huffington Post "Activate felt like a seminal event, perhaps even a watershed in UK business and media culture. Activate is unashamedly targeted at makers and doers, people that will build things...such as the future." James Govenor, analyst, Redmonk
