Join us for a transformative full-day conference as we embark on an exploration of the evolving landscape of technology and human interaction. Under the banner of Dig-IT Lab, this event explore the current trends shaping our digital future, where vulnerability meets innovation, and human values intertwine with machine efficiency. In a world increasingly defined by artificial intelligence, the balance between risks and opportunities becomes crucial.
Our four sessions will guide you through the labyrinth of digital transformation:
- Digital Twins and Insights: Digital twins have evolved from dead planning tools to dynamic service generating platforms. But how happily will these twins play together in shared spaces? And how will AI influence their behavior? Also, discover the evolving relationship between mirrored realities and the regulatory landscapes that govern them. How do we ensure usability whilst preserving privacy, and what tools are out there to improve operational efficiency?
- Business Models: Navigate new economic frontiers forged by digital innovation, where resilience and adaptability become the cornerstones of success. Can different business models align, harvesting the emerging ideas from start-ups in an industry with long-term business models, and how do smart solutions affect property value?
- Organisation: Explore the interface of human dynamics and technological systems, ensuring integration that amplifies human potential. How can organizations prepare for a coming shift in focus? From human to human aided by AI, or even to AI aided by human?
- Testbed Xn: Engage with cutting-edge experiments and scenarios designed to anticipate future technologies and their potential impact on society. What have the Dig-IT Lab developed, and how can collaborative environments help to industrialise digitalisation.
As we prepare for an uncertain future, we encourage a proactive mindset: Prepare for the worst, hope for the best, and embrace the fear of failure as a catalyst for growth. Amidst discussions on crisis management and technological evolutions, we promise moments of levity and connection, reminding us of the joys of innovation and the reasons to look forward to tomorrow.
It all ends (or continues?) with drinks and some food at Bengt Dahlgren!
Secure your spot for a day filled with insightful exchanges, strategic foresight, and a touch of fun. Let’s embrace the future together, with optimism and resilience.
Venue: Bengt Dahlgren, Textilgatan 43 Hammarby Sjöstad
