Where mission meets tech
At this year’s event, we will examine the current of a new power gaining momentum on the horizon, presenting unprecedented opportunities for those who can perceive and grasp it. This revolutionary force, fuelled by technological possibilities that are increasingly accessible to the many rather than the few, is open, participatory, and peer-driven. How can we embrace this paradigm shift for radical mission advancement and avoid being swept aside by its disruptive impact?
We will bring together unique perspectives from international experts and practitioners across the fields of the creator economy, artificial intelligence, tokenisation, open collaboration, and the next evolution of human digital experience. Together, we will explore how the tensions arising from these key shifts can be harnessed to unlock renewal and transformative new opportunities.
