Physical first: The physical inevitability of a digital world
We are physical beings living in an increasingly digital world. We still need to eat, drink, sleep, fall in love and we still get sick, sad, and tired. While we tend to spend more and more time in the digital world, it is the time spent away from our screens that we always appreciate more. Time spent with real people, experiencing real feelings, creating real memories, healing. In the age of the digital revolution, it is time we considered an inspired combination between the digital and physical worlds, that maintains the feeling, depth, and balance which our humanity demands.
10:00 – 11:00
Jeremy White
How businesses are navigating the AI crossroads
We are coming to an inflection point with technology. Business sectors are adopting AI and machine learning in radically different ways, some more successfully than others. How companies embrace this change will govern future performance and competitiveness. Coming generations will treat such technology differently to how we do today, and also communicate with it differently. Jeremy will outline these shifts, discussing how preparing for this change will be vital for any company, regardless of the industry in which it operates.
11:00 – 12:00
Ken Segall
Insanely Simple
Steve Jobs once said that simplicity “can move mountains.” He proved this in the most graphic way, turning a nearly-bankrupt Apple into the most valuable company on earth in only 14 years. Even today, Steve’s love of simplicity can be seen in the way Apple organizes, innovates and communicates. In this presentation, New York Times bestselling author Ken Segall talks about the essential elements of simplicity based on his 12 years’ experience as Steve Jobs’ ad agency creative director. He shows how Steve turned simplicity into a competitive weapon, and how any organization can do the same. A storyteller at heart, Ken illustrates the principles of simplicity with a blend of facts and entertaining tales from inside Steve’s wild world.

Is your phone really listening to you? A talk about protecting our Digital Privacy in our Always on - Always connected lives.
Our world is fully connected. We constantly create, store and share personal data through our interaction with our smart devices and the Internet. Utilising these data can lead to new levels of knowledge, speed and power to improve our lives and better fulfil our needs. What we may not realise is that our data, conversations and activities can be exploited without our consent - to target us, monitor us or even harm us and violate our privacy. Only last year, more than 30,000 people were targeted using Pegasus. How are data being recorded and used? What are the dangers of the commodification of personal data? Can we protect ourselves from spyware? Is privacy dead

Joao Adao
The Digital Organization in a Gen Z World - Inspirations from Meta
Every organization needs to adapt to today's fast-changing and increasingly complex digital world, and most struggle in the attempt. The main reason? Cultural barriers to adopt new behaviors that are required to succeed in this hyper-agile landscape. Inspired by experiences leading a digital transformation at a traditional print company, and most recently leading South America at Meta, Joao shares 5 key insights that every business leader should prioritize in their Digital Transformation.
