Future of Work and Education Forum
Remaining human-centric in the changing 'world of work', education and technology.
This event has already happened!
What will differentiate us from technology in the future is the fact that we are human. Do we need to do more to ensure we are focusing on human skills as much as we are on technology skills when it comes to education and professional development?
Join us to learn practical tools to help harness the digital age, both personally and professionally, hear how cognitive technology presents a significant opportunity to redefine work, look beyond the hype and into the practical implications of augmented and virtual reality, and we will find out more about a digital tool being developed to help illuminate people’s talents, passion and purpose.
The speakers will then join a panel, made up of representatives from the education and professional development sectors, to consider whether the future is already here, humans and technology - better together, and developing our human capital today and into the future.
Plus we have a technology showcase where you can see, hear about and get hands on with technology.
The event is Gold Sponsor is LearningWorks.
