Brave New World

Technology is changing the way we live and work but that doesn’t mean that humans will become redundant – maybe they will become the differentiator, the new killer app, so to speak.

Overview

This event will examine the future of people in an increasingly automated world.

• What effect will the emerging technologies of automation have on people?
• How can we use these technologies to our advantage for business growth?
• What are the opportunities for businesses and individuals who embrace technology but with a strong focus on the continuing importance of people?

The keynote speaker will be Diana Garnham who served as CEO of the Science Council for 10 years and has been involved in many science and technology policy and media campaigns.

Writer and broadcaster, Simon Fanshawe OBE, will chair the event and share his knowledge on equalities, leadership and social trends.

Throughout the day, other experts will share their perspectives through presentations, interactive workshops and panel discussions creating opportunities for learning throughout the event – enabling you to take away new ideas and perspectives to equip your businesses and employees so that your business can develop and grow in a rapidly changing world.
