Tuesday, 12 September, 2023 / 04:45 PM - 05:30 PM AEST GUEST KEYNOTE: THE NEVER NORMAL Peter Hinssen, Entrepreneur, Keynote Speaker and Author, nexxworks We’re at a crossroads. Certainly since the COVID-19 crisis but even before that, we have been evolving into a world with many new types of disruptions. There’s this potent cocktail of global platforms, information, intelligence, and automation that is accelerating the pace of change. But technology is no longer the biggest driver of disruption. What’s coming at us is ecological, biological, societal and geopolitical in nature and this is just the beginning. These many disruptions are going to evolve into seismic shocks that will completely overturn how we live and work. Think about the rising sea levels we might experience the next decades. Or pandemics like COVID-19. Or the cold (trade) war between the US and China. Wednesday, 13 September, 2023 / 09:00 AM - 09:45 AM AEST GUEST KEYNOTE: MY YEAR OF FEAR: GETTING COMFORTABLE BEING UNCOMFORTABLE Holly Ransom, Global Speaker, Interviewer & Leadership Trailblazer, Holly Ransom spent one full year challenging herself to do something that scared her every single day.
