Where mission meets tech

Digital Day 24 curates an insightful and provocative conversation about the future. Exploring macro shifts driven by emergent technological currents is essential for a posture of strategic foresight to sense and seize transformative opportunities at the intersection of mission and technology.

Meet speakers

At this year’s event, we consider the current of a new power gaining momentum on the horizon, creating unprecedented opportunities for those that can perceive and grasp it. Fuelled by emergent technological possibilities belonging to the many rather than the few, this revolutionary force is open, participatory, and peer-driven. How can we embrace this paradigm shift for radical mission advancement and avoid being swept aside by its disruptive impact?

We convene unique perspectives from international experts and practitioners in the fields of the creator economy, artificial intelligence, tokenisation, open collaboration, and the next evolution of human digital experience. Together, we will examine how tensions arising in these key shifts can be tapped to unlock renewal and transformative, new opportunities.
