future of work

We'll be discussing the effects of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. How does work change when everything you currently experience at the office can be strapped to your face? If everything can be digitised and digitally manipulated, what work do we choose to do?

We'll be discussing the effects of networked machines and the Internet of Things. How does work change when some of your colleagues are people and some of them are sensing devices? Do you want to work with a robot? How much of your work could be delivered by a network of machines?

We'll be discussing the effects of the use of blockchain technology. Bitcoin gave us programmable money, blockchain platforms for smart contracts promise entirely programmable companies - what does that mean for us? Is this the big (and final) wave of White Collar Automation that's been promised for decades?

Meaning is the annual gathering for people who believe business can and must be a force for positive change in our dynamic and volatile world. Our speakers are international thinkers and doers from business, academia and activism, each bringing an individual perspective on the challenges and opportunities we face.
