Technological innovation, changes in demographics and globalization are disrupting the labour market in unprecedented ways. The workforce of the future will require new skills to thrive, industry leaders will need to remain agile to excel.

Key questions we will answer:

-How can you attract the best talent?
-Which existing jobs will disappear, where will new jobs be created?
-Will AI replace workers or improve them?
-How can you regulate the on-demand economy?
-Where will we work in the future?

Who should attend:

-Business leaders
-Talent managers
-Educators
-Policymakers
