AFR Future Briefings
Business meets the future in The Australian Financial Review’s flagship new event series on technology, transformation and the future of work.
Through a series of incisive seminars, we invite business leaders to learn about the technological advances and cutting-edge research that are poised to shape the future of our economy and our workplaces – and the opportunities for forward-thinking organisations right now.
CONNECTED CONSUMERS
The rapid advance of technology is fundamentally reshaping the way that we consume information, products and services. From augmented and virtual reality, voice commands and drone delivery to self-stocking “smart homes”, 3D printing and the computer-brain interface, technologies once belonging to the realm of science fiction will increasingly be part of the everyday shopping experience.
The dizzying pace of change will have tremendous consequences for all customer-facing businesses – but the scope and complexity of technological change can make it difficult to anticipate challenges and identify opportunities in a world of connected consumers.
The Australian Financial Review’s Future Briefings webcast on Connected Consumers will bring together researchers, investors, entrepreneurs and pioneering business leaders to provide 360ยบ expert advice on the future of the customer experience – and the opportunities to collaborate and seize the advantage right now.
Virtual Webcast
The third event in the Future Briefings breakfast series has been reimagined as a special edition virtual event on Connected Consumers. The webcast is available exclusively to Financial Review subscribers.
Live from 10am AEST Tuesday September 29, 2020 and on-demand
