NEVER NICHE ENOUGH TREND EXPLAINER

This year’s Webby Talks trend is Never Niche Enough: saddie baddies™, pothole protestors, and foraging fiends. How young consumers have redefined online communities, and why the future of digital is rooted in authenticity.

A journey into the ways Gen Z is transforming traditional community platforms, building new communal digital spaces, and populating the increasingly innovative online metaverse to connect, create and communicate, and how brands can meet them there.

This year’s Webby Talks is presented by WP Engine and YouGov.
