ABOUT THE SESSION

Think about our own behavior in the past two years, where we swapped the office for Zoom, gyms for virtual Peloton, restaurants for Uber Eats, Movie theaters for Netflix and Supermarkets for instacart.

Will we return? Yes! The live event business is exploding, as companies eagerly seek to bring their workforces back together. But no one is going back to Business As Usual. We are all going back to Business As Unusual, where technology, climate change and Generation Z will revolutionise just about everything. So how can we Think Different about our industry to not only survive, but thrive in this whole new world?

In this informal gathering, Duncan Wardle, former Head of innovation & Creativity at Disney will offer his thoughts on how to challenge our norms and create the Experience Industry of the future.
