The opening Salon featured Tom Cooper's presentation and Paul Levinson's response to Cooper’s new book entitled: Wisdom Weavers: The Lives and Thought of Harold Innis and Marshall McLuhan. 

The discussion was moderated by Paolo Granata.

Wisdom Weavers is the first comprehensive dual biography of two of Canada’s most influential thinkers. It follows the intertwined lives of Harold Innis and Marshall McLuhan, their spirited exchanges, and their transformative ideas on media, communication, and culture—ideas that continue to shape our understanding of technology and society today.

Personal Commentary: This presentation was excellent. As part of the audience, I broadened my knowledge and viewpoints on the works of Innis and McLuhan. It was a fantastic session.
