Rapid shifts in technology, customer needs and competitor dynamics allow companies to build resilience to changing environments and integrate not only cutting edge technologies but also embrace a new generation of talent.

Whether it be how we engage our customers, how we automate our processes or even how we make decisions as leaders – the ability to effectively transform data into value will be at the heart of 21st-century business. Building an AI powered organization is crucial to your company’s future survival.

In this keynote, attendees will learn:

• Why AI will change the dynamics of every industry and the delivery of even the most traditional products and services
• How to harness new ways of working, with the use of humans and algorithmic platforms
• How to identify and develop future needs from tomorrow’s leaders and teams

The pandemic not only changed our way of life, it accelerated the arrival of a radical new future of business. While for many of us hybrid work is a new and unexpected challenge –  it is just the start of a much bigger transformation set to reshape the nature of organizations themselves.

This is a new world, and one that will run on very new rules. Whether it be engaging customers through digital channels or leveraging AI, algorithms and automation to reinvent how we deliver value – we are likely to experience in the next decade, a century’s worth of change. Not every organization will make it, but those that do will never be the same again. And for leaders, now more than ever, it is a time to upgrade their capabilities, embrace new technologies, and reimagine what they do.

Mike Walsh’s keynote presentation will offer audiences an insight into the organizations and leaders that are successfully navigating this period of change, and how to create a playbook for their own transformation. Becoming future-proof is more than just about getting through a crisis – it is about being ready for the new world that awaits us on the other side.

In this keynote, attendees will learn:

– Why there is no such thing as digital disruption, just digital delivery
– Why there is no remote work, just work
– Why AI is not here to destroy our jobs, but it will change them

The Metaverse is more than a gold rush; it will be an alchemical transformation in how the world works. Over the next few years, we will see a rapid convergence between the digital and real world driven by increasingly sophisticated devices, decentralized blockchain protocols and AI platforms capable of generating persistent, immersive and collaborative experiences indistinguishable from reality.

Mike Walsh’s new keynote presentation will demystify core Metaverse technologies and concepts like NFTs, spatial computing, blockchain applications, DAOs, XR platforms, digital twins and Web3.0. In addition, with a playbook style approach, he will provide insights into pragmatic opportunities to design new customer experiences, create engaging hybrid work environments, and pioneer products and services suitable for a rapidly virtualizing world.

The time for action is now. Whether you are a media company or retail brand, financial services or manufacturing operation – the question for leaders is no longer what is the Metaverse, but rather what is our plan for action?

In this keynote, attendees will learn:

– How to position your organization for success by anticipating your future customer needs, collaborating with rivals and startups, and experimenting with new models of value exchange

– Why digital twins, distributed workplaces and autonomous organizations will be essential components of the enterprise Metaverse, and what this means for the future of your business

– How leaders can navigate the 3 challenges of privacy, power and policy as they develop their own Metaverse roadmap

We live in an age of wonder – cars that drive themselves, platforms that anticipate our needs, and robots capable of everything from advanced manufacturing to complex surgery. Automation, algorithms and AI are transforming not only business, but every facet of daily life. Some may think it means replacing people with codes and removing their jobs, however, the question we should be asking is: what is the true potential of human intelligence in the 21st century?

In this dynamic keynote, Mike Walsh, futurist and author will present a vivid portrait of a brave new world orchestrated by machines that think, and how tomorrow’s leaders can upgrade their capabilities to survive and thrive in an age of accelerating technology.

Audiences will walk away with an insight into the companies, technologies and global forces shaping the new age of AI, along with next steps on how to redesign their organizations, reimagine their roles and reinvent the way they make decisions.

In this keynote, attendees will learn:

• Why competing in an age of AI requires a radically new approach.
•  What it takes to become an AI-powered organization, and how to lead a successful.
•  How to unlock the new skills, capabilities and mindsets for your leaders.
