Future Tech 2024 Workshops

Wed 9 July 2014 – Swissotel, Market Street, Sydney

Wearable, implantable and ingestible devices, massive changes in the automotive sector, sensor networks, new form factors for phones and tablets, home automation, drones, the Internet of Things, cloud services, security and privacy, and the latest telecom technologies may seem loosely connected.

But if you look more closely, you’ll see a common pattern of communications technologies underpinning new markets, along with new service and product segments targeted at both consumer and business customers. Future service opportunities are already unfolding, you just need to know where to look.

One way to do so comes from spotting technologies and trends early, and translating them in to viable business strategies.

Market Clarity and CommsDay are hosting a Future Tech workshop, where we’ll be examining the ways that you can translate the power of the future into new business opportunities.

Future Tech is your roadmap to understanding and accessing the growth potential of tomorrow’s world. In this interactive workshop, Shara shares:

• Thirteen emerging technologies and trends that are creating new service and product markets
• Leading edge innovation in transport and logistics, whitegoods, agriculture, and eight other industries that require ubiquitous communications networks
• Six new service sectors that any company offering telecom-related services should consider
• Five future scenarios to stimulate discussion among workshop participants

Supported by extensive interviews with luminaries in research labs, vendor labs, telcos, futurists and others — this workshop features Shara’s cutting edge research on the wide range of gadgets, technologies, and trends that will impact telecom services (and everyone that uses these services).

This is an interactive workshop, so be prepared to roll-up your sleeves, as we  peer over the horizon a little bit, see what’s coming and examine the opportunities or threats for your businesses.
