Building on the momentum and success of the past three years of Henley World of Work conferences, we are running a virtual fringe festival this September!
WOW: What the Fringe?! will still have the fun and spirit of the past WOW events, with a festival-vibe, including live entertainment.
WOW What The Fringe?!
What The Fringe is happening to 2020? Join us online to explore how COVID-19 has impacted the world of work and what you can expect to see in the coming years.
We have lined up some excellent speakers, who will be talking about a range of topics!
Our main overarching theme is “the acceleration of the future of work” from COVID-19. It has changed the world and how we work – and has uncovered inequalities, ways of working, and created new opportunities for organisations. We can argue that the future of work is right here, right now.
Confirmed speakers and titles* include:
- Maya Dillon, Microsoft - AI Innovation and Skilling: The Future Needs You
- Josie Cluer, EY and Professor Elena Beleska-Spasova - Levelling Up Learning - Organisational Skills Led Recovery
- Now You’re Talking Network – How to get Millennials and Gen Z to Stay Awake While you Talk
