Leadership in the Digital Age - SOLD OUT

About Our Program

Road to Reinvention is unlike other conferences. We bring together experienced executives, technology leaders and the latest academic thinking with one goal: to help you navigate the road ahead.

We have planned an exciting day of thought-provoking conversations with leaders and luminaries. Learn how incumbents are reinventing and startups are rapidly scaling to disrupt; what AI and blockchain can do for your business and ways to manage the associated risks; and how you can acquire the necessary competencies to drive change when skills are scarce.

  • C-level executives who develop the vision, objectives and strategy of their organization
  • Board members and financial executives who oversee the process
  • Senior executives who are leading digital transformation
