Register now for your complimentary virtual seat for IMMERSION, celebrating the game changers who create value, uniting the best of humanity with technology.
IMMERSION invites you to join the Game Changers: The Next in Creating Value, the virtual symposium taking thought leadership to the next level.
Coming soon, IMMERSION will be live streamed and is the highlight of the Australian transformational leadership calendar. Following the success of last year’s inaugural event, this year’s exciting program will inform, provoke, and inspire leaders focused on spearheading transformation like never before.
Changing the Game. What does it look like?
The underlying question across the half-day event, bringing you an inspiring and transformative experience with a focus on a positive mindset for change. IMMERSION will bring together the game changers from enterprise and government, to ignite conversation and reimagine possibilities.
Explore what’s possible in areas such as future cities, infrastructure, customer experience and disruption. Learn how diverse thinking will change the game for society, from robust panels and sessions with public and private sector subject matter experts, plus thought provoking, easily accessible content that will challenge your thinking and change the game.
Digital transformation plays a pivotal role in boosting optimism and paving the way for governments to embed and drive future-proof infrastructure, health, travel, and security for quality of life and economic advancement.
With the past 18 months witnessing some of the most substantial and impressive pivots performed by both government and business alike, the need to adapt and innovate at a rapid pace, using revolutionary technology has proven critical. Leaders have quickly turned transformation on its head and tackled problems never before seen on such a vast human or economic scale. The result? A game change for society with no going back.
Designed to inspire new ideas and game change ways of thinking, this year’s IMMERSION will spark optimism, and uncover the best combination of humanity and cutting-edge technology. NEC Australia invites you to attend.
With the full program to be announced shortly, some of the highlights will include…
