WORK AWESOME is here to connect you with the most inspiring people and thought-provoking insights into what work will be like tomorrow. Join us on June 23, 2016 at Knotel @ The Battery, 1 State Street (25th fl), New York City.

SOME OF OUR TOPICS

– Artificial Intelligence.  If smart machines learn to execute more and more cognitive tasks – does that steer us towards a post-work-society?

– Gig Economy. If the gig economy grows further, will that eventually replace the 9-to-5 model?

– The new new workplace. Needs and cultures at work are changing radically. What about chairs, tables, rooms and buildings?

– Teamwork and Leadership. Why are so many companies changing their way of working together? And what are the learnings of self-organizing, hierarchy-abandoning firms?
