Making the Future Work

Hosted by the UK’s leading future of work research and development institute, Making the Future Work convenes senior stakeholders across industry, research, technology, investment and policy.

Beginning with a keynote address from Secretary of State for DSIT, Liz Kendall, we will be examining one of the defining challenges of our time: how to couple the immense power of AI with human capability so that the much-heralded productivity gains promised by new technologies can actually be realised, and good outcomes for people and communities are achieved.

As widespread technological adoption increases both impact and opportunity, it is vital that those with the power to turn technology towards good meet to advance understanding of how to make the future work.

This conference will bring together senior decision-makers, expert academics and leading firms to share best practice, reflect on current approaches and envision new futures for the UK’s future jobs and how they can best serve the needs of society.
