  3. World of Work: What the Fringe?! - free webinars exploring future of work

What is happening to 2020? Join us to explore how COVID-19 has impacted the world of work and what you can expect to see in the future

About this Event

Like a lot of businesses, we have moved our annual conference online to become a fringe festival of webinars before the main event in 2021.

We have lined up some excellent speakers, who will be talking about a range of topics!

Our main overarching theme is “the acceleration of the future of work” from COVID-19. It has changed the world and how we work – and has uncovered inequalities, ways of working, and created new opportunities for organisations. We can argue that the future of work is right here, right now.

We will be having a live DJ set just before - so log in early and join us at 14:50!

  • Maya Dillon, Microsoft - AI Innovation and Skilling: The Future Needs You
