November 12: Read more about our sessions

Anita Caras and Mark Melling

The fourth industrial revolution is upon us and the digital transformation of businesses has gone into overdrive courtesy of the current Coronavirus pandemic. The widespread adoption of home working and the recent social upheaval has forced a change in how businesses look at their places, spaces and working practices. The social distancing policies of the COVID-19 pandemic represent a global trial run of what may become a new normal. As we adjusted to home isolation, technology became our sole platform for community and collaboration. Using their latest Global Study on the Future Of Work as a backdrop, Anita Caras (Research Director at Verizon Media) and Mark Melling (Head of RYOT Studio EMEA // 5G Lead EMEA at Verizon Media) will discuss the impact the virus has had and showcase how these digital environments are now changing the ways we look at civic, social, and professional engagement forever.

This session will provide you with:

• An overview of the opinions of 1700 Global business leaders on the new business reality
• Reveal the key drivers organisations are focusing on to reimagine the corporate future
• Evaluate how consumers are responding to these changes & their levels of adoption of immersive technologies
