Whilst technology is impacting how we work on many levels, it is also opening up many new possibilities. So what does the future of work hold for us as individuals, for the environments in which we operate and work within and for how we make decisions?
This Conference and associated workshop will not only expand this conversation it will challenge your thinking and that of your business also.
Shannon Chamber is delighted to have secured the amazing ‘Sophie Hackford’ as our keynote speaker. Sophie is a futurist and technologist and her work is incredibly captivating and mind blowing. Sophie travels the world visiting inventors, makers, hackers and science and space communities.
