Navigating a Technological Future - XpoNorth Digital

Technology drives innovation and is often a great disrupter. The current pace of technological development is very high, so it can sometimes feel like much of what was certain and what we had come to rely on is now built on shifting sands. It’s easy to think that the businesses of today, including our own jobs, will soon disappear.

But is that true?

The rise of generative AI, immersive environments, deep data insights, and rapidly changing consumption patterns will undoubtedly bring challenges. It's crucial to recognise that they also present significant opportunities. By understanding the evolving technological landscape and its potential impact on the creative sector, you can position yourself to seize these opportunities. This session is designed to highlight emerging trends, provide a glimpse into the near future and explore planning and strategy development approaches to get you ready for what’s ahead.
