One Summit,
Four Verticals
Future Talent Summit is organized into four verticals: Business & Innovation, Work & HR, Education and Society. Each with its own customized agenda, designed to focus on real strategic priorities, important partnerships, and tangible outcomes.
THE FUTURE OF BUSINESS
AI leaders – the organizations remaking industries, outcompeting peers, and attracting top talent – don’t just use AI. They’re fuelled by it
At Future Talent Summit, we balance vision and strategy with practical examples, hands-on discussion, and deep domain expertise. For you to lead the transformation, achieve business outcomes, and navigate ethical concerns. For AI to be a positive power for all.Navigate ethical concerns, ensuring transparency and inclusivity in AI adoption. With agility and adaptability, businesses can harness AI’s transformative power, driving sustainable success in the digital era.
Chairman & CEO, Verizon
Oxford University, Institute of Ethics in AI
THE FUTURE OF WORK & HR
More than ever, fellow talent leaders benefit from connecting, learning, and partnering with industry pioneers. Future Talent Summit is an opportunity to not only broaden your perspective, access world-leading insights, and benchmark strategies – but to actively participate in shaping the future of work in the age of AI.

THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION
Some might say the world needs its educational institutions more, and less, than ever. Others might say that educators can either lead through this transformation – or be led out of it. Technology is shortening the lifespan of skills in the marketplace, turning the traditional meaning of the term “career outcomes” on its head – all while offering new methods, formats, and platforms, from which to learn
Meanwhile, there has never been a more dire need for more adaptable, responsible, human-centric generations of global citizens. This marks a pivotal moment for the educational sector to reinvent itself and be the bedrock of a curious, prosperous society for all.

Vice President of Strategic Partnerships, Minerva Project

THE FUTURE OF SOCIETY
Embark on an exploration of AI’s multifaceted influence on our shared future. In this journey, we uncover the intricate interplay of regulation, innovation, and ethical AI practices. This includes addressing biases embedded within algorithms and systems, striving for fairness and equity in decision-making processes. Furthermore, we navigate the intricate terrain of information management, cultivating trust and reliability in our evolving digital ecosystem. Join us in shaping a path toward a future where AI serves to enhance, rather than detract from, the social fabric. Together, let’s ensure that AI contributes positively to society, fostering inclusion, empowerment, and ethical progress.
