Agenda
10 am – 11 am EST – Welcome and Keynote Panel
What does the future of Sustainability look like? Is about more customer-centricity and personalization, less waste, more privacy and / or more climate equity? Are Generation Z truly the new voice of sustainability and innovation in sustainable consumerism, influential enough to drive the much-needed global change to reduce waste, fight for climate justice or leverage other important shifts in this race for top-skilled talent?
11 am – 1 pm EST – Virtual Insights Case Competition Talent Showcase
Cybersecurity challenges brought about by AI and ML make securing private information even more significant. It’s not just about demanding more from IT staff but also about focusing on data governance and harmonization training and literacy for everyone: How do you understand the different business models and data processes across industries? How do you secure the safe storage and use of data at all stages of the business lifecycle while improving efficiency through technology? How can you better assess the cyber risks brought about by AI and ML and mitigate risks strategically and proactively?
Student teams and graduates from different North American academic institutions will demonstrate the comforts and corresponding data threats brought upon by AI and ML across business and society. They will be assessed on their ability to problem-scope, innovate with high ethics and to provide market insights and recommendations to tackle a pressing business or social problem. Winners earn fantastic prizes from us and our proud sponsors!
