This year’s theme is “Advancing Humanity.”

We are harnessing the power of collective imagination to pre-forecast and shape a very different Future for All People.

The world that was uncovered by COVID, a world of profound inequities and imbalances is unacceptable and part of the solution is to have Technology harness the mass, collective creative imagination of us all to create a world where we are committed to ”Advancing Humanity.”

On the 16th of October, we are going to come together, online to interact with a number of the leading thinkers/doers who are attempting to usher in a world where Equity, Fairness and Technological Advancement becomes the next normal.
