We had been hearing for years that telecommuting, electronic commerce or virtual relationships were going to arrive. Suddenly they arrived. In a few months the digitization of our lives advanced what would have taken 10 years under normal circumstances. The technological future that we expected is already past.
In this meeting we will analyze the great challenges of this new era. The position of Europe and Spain in the face of global challenges, the importance of foresight within organizations, technological determinism, accelerationism and change management. A journey through disruptive visions of possible futures from disparate fields such as architecture, activism, academia or art.
Live on October 21, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. through the EL PAÍS website.
