Your Best Investment in Years!

We live in exponential times and technology is evolving a breakneck speed. Staying up-to-date is more important than ever before, but at the same time, it is also more difficult than ever before. In Step into the Future, future tech strategist Dr Mark van Rijmenam discusses the most important technologies that will change society in the coming decade. All with the objective to provide the manager with a deep understanding how these technologies will affect your business and with the tools to apply them to prepare your organization for tomorrow.

A day packed full of unique immersive experiences that most have never experienced before, to offer you a glimpse into the future. During the full-day, you will learn:

Dr Mark van Rijmenam
  • How artificial intelligence will reshape every industry in the coming decade and how you can embrace this wonderful technology;
  • How the immersive internet, also known as the metaverse, will change how we work, making working, collaborating and socializing more playful and which tools you can use to create a seamless 3D experience;
  • How lockchain technology and Web 3 infrastructure will change the future of work and why blockchain will be the golden standard for supply chains;
  • How quantum computing will leapfrog humanity and could help solve most of our problems, while also creating new ones that could ruin your business - and how you could avoid that.
  • How every organization nowadays is a data organization and every industry a data network and how that should affect your data privacy and security measures.
  • How digital twins and the Internet of Things will augment the physical world and make it accessible from the digital realm, creating a more efficient and effective organization.
  • How technology is neutral and can be used for value extraction or creation and why creating or implementing emerging technologies is actually the easy part in digitally transforming your business.
