The Future World Symposium

The Future World Symposium is a two day conference and showcase of international appeal where thought leaders and industrialists engage the connected, smart and electronically-enabled worlds of innovation, opportunity and challenge. The digital age is disruptive; it is global, it is mainstream and it is very much upon us. The world we live in today is significantly different to just twenty years ago and connecting into the cloud of capability unleashes unprecedented opportunity for innovation to reshape almost every avenue of our lives. Digital technologies are at the very heart of social, economic and political change. The trend is set to continue as products and services proliferate, advanced economies consider access to the Internet a fundamental utility and emerging economies seek advances in education, health provision, communications and the multitude of benefits on offer. But what will the next 10 years look like? Who will be shaping the future? What will our electronically enabled industries be capable of and how must organisations work together to deliver the potential? What are the barriers, both technical and non-technical, that lie in our way and what hazards must we navigate? The Future World Symposium seeks to explore the road ahead. Over two days Thought Leaders, Researchers and Industrialists will help us see the digital opportunity through their eyes. Themes which are expected to feature strongly in this year's conference are: • Connectivity / more and more connected devices / the Cloud / the Crowd / platforms for innovation • User communities, platforms and eco-systems • Energy Efficiency / Low Power / Low Carbon / Greener products • Emerging Technologies The Future World Symposium is for CxO's, researchers, designers, engineering managers, planners, policy makers, business development managers… indeed, anybody who has a stakeholder interest in the digital future.
