Join us for an evening of insightful discussion and networking at our upcoming panel event 'The Evolution of Innovation: Opportunities and Challenges in the Digital Age'.
Hosted by auDA in partnership with Women in Innovation Adelaide, this event promises to be a thought-provoking exploration of the rapidly changing landscape of innovation in the digital era.
In this panel discussion, we'll explore three pivotal themes that are reshaping the technology landscape:
- Harnessing digital disruption for business success: In an era of constant technological evolution, staying ahead is crucial. Our panel will explore strategies and insights that empower businesses to not only adapt to digital disruption but thrive because of it.
- The role of government in shaping the digital future: Governments around the world are increasingly influencing the technology landscape through policies and regulations and understanding this role is vital for technology professionals.
- Empowering consumers in the digital era: We’ll ask our panel to consider the ethical and practical aspects of ensuring digital technologies empower and protect consumers, making technology a force for good.
Whether you're already part of the technology sector, or aspire to be, this event is your opportunity to join the discussion, gain valuable insights and network with like-minded professionals.
