THE WORLD UNITES: MOBILIZED NEWS ANNOUNCES THE IMX: A GLOBAL INTERACTIVE MEDIA EXPERIENCE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS THROUGH SYSTEMS CHANGE
January 12-13-14-15, 2027 | Live, interactive and worldwide
* Schedule is subject to change.
Mobilized News introduces a four-day international media experience connecting the people documenting the world’s problems with the people already building practical solutions.
Mobilized News announces IMX: The Interactive Media Experience, a global, participatory event taking place January 12–15, 2027.
Presented under the banner THE WORLD UNITES, IMX will bring together independent media creators, human rights advocates, community leaders, innovators and practitioners for two days of storytelling, systems understanding, demonstrated solutions and collaborative action.
The theme: Human Rights Through Systems Change.
The mission: Help people understand why our most pressing challenges persist, discover what is already working and participate in creating healthier communities and a healthier planet.
The guiding principle: Less talking, more doing.
Why IMX? Why now?
The world has no shortage of information. What it lacks is the ability to connect that information in ways that create understanding and coordinated action.
Our food, energy, financial, healthcare, transportation, justice and information systems are deeply interconnected. Yet the organizations working to improve them often operate independently.
Journalists investigate problems. Researchers identify causes. Innovators develop alternatives. Communities put solutions into practice.
Too often, these efforts remain disconnected.
IMX is designed to bring them together.
Instead of presenting another conference where experts describe problems and audiences listen, IMX will create an interactive experience where participants can understand the relationships between challenges, discover real-world initiatives and connect directly with the people doing the work.
The event will emphasize demonstrated experience, verified information and practical opportunities for participation.
Four media experiences: One interconnected world.
The IMX experience will follow a two-day journey from understanding to action.
DAY ONE — JANUARY 12, 2027
Understand the world as it is.
Explore the roots of today’s interconnected challenges.
Presentations will examine how existing structures affect human rights, public health, planetary health and economic well-being.
Participants will explore the connections among food, energy, finance, justice, media, technology, transportation and the natural environment.
The objective is to move beyond individual symptoms and understand the conditions that produce them.
DAY TWO — JANUARY 13, 2027
Build the world as it could become.
Discover practical alternatives already being implemented.
Community leaders, independent media makers, innovators and practitioners will be invited to demonstrate their initiatives, explain their results and identify what is needed to expand their impact.
Participants will discover opportunities to collaborate, contribute expertise, share resources and bring effective ideas into their own communities.
The objective is to turn understanding into meaningful participation.
Human rights provide the principles. Systems change provides the pathway. People provide the power.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights establishes 30 articles addressing human dignity, equality, freedom, justice and economic and social rights.
IMX will explore how the design of the systems people depend on influences the realization of those rights.
Its proposed programming includes examinations of criminal justice, healthcare, food production, renewable energy, ethical finance, circular economies, community ownership, digital democracy and independent media.
Rather than focusing exclusively on what is failing, IMX will showcase initiatives working to improve conditions and examine the evidence behind their approaches.
The central question:
What can we accomplish when the people investigating our problems can connect directly with those developing and implementing solutions?
A new relationship between media and society
IMX is also designed to address a larger challenge: How can media better serve the public?
Traditional media provides valuable reporting and accountability. However, fragmented coverage can make it difficult to understand how separate events are connected or discover practical responses.
IMX aims to connect journalism, documentary storytelling, systems analysis, innovation and public participation.
The experience will introduce audiences to the broader Mobilized News network, an ongoing media ecosystem designed to help people discover useful information, find collaborators and share their work.
The goal is to move beyond passive consumption toward a more participatory relationship with media.
Be the media. Be the future.
Day 3: January 14: New Career Transformation:
Day 4: January 15: New Career Market
The experience continues after January 14
IMX is not intended to be a event that ends when the livestream goes dark.
It is designed to serve as a launchpad for continuing relationships and collaborative initiatives through Mobilized News.
Participants and organizations will be invited to use the network to:
- Share stories, investigations, documentaries and verified solutions.
- Showcase initiatives, projects, products and services through the Mobilized Exchange.
- Promote events, webinars and livestreams.
- Discover collaborators, partners and complementary resources.
- Participate in continuing conversations and working sessions.
- Document progress and share lessons with the wider public.
The objective is to create lasting connections that turn shared knowledge into coordinated activity.
No travel. No hotels. No bureaucracy. No fees. No kidding.
IMX is designed as an online global experience.
Participants can attend from their homes, offices or communities without the expense and logistical barriers associated with international travel.
The event’s participation model is intended to make it easier for people and initiatives from different regions to share their knowledge and contribute.
Live presentations and interactive opportunities will connect audiences across borders, sectors and time zones.
An invitation to the world’s media makers and change makers
Mobilized News invites journalists, filmmakers, broadcasters, independent creators, human rights organizations, community initiatives, innovators and solution providers to participate in developing the experience.
Organizations with working solutions are encouraged to share their stories, demonstrate their approaches and identify opportunities for collaboration.
Media creators are invited to contribute reporting, documentaries, interviews and other material that helps the public understand the challenges and possibilities.
The emphasis will be on people already doing the work, documented results and practical ways others can participate.
