Leadership - Innovation - Resilience - AI

As a business leader, it is up to you to create change in your organization: a change that will prevail over the status quo. But, how do we do that? How can we lead the change toward a better future? How can we ensure constant innovation to stay relevant in our fields? How can leaders develop strong resilience in these troubled times? How should we prepare for the massive growth of AI?

We should not only ask these questions—but answer them. And together with 7,000 attendees and 10 world-class speakers, we will.

Don’t expect change, don’t wait for change. Be the change.
