Technology advances rapidly, often exponentially, and is enabling rapid increases in innovation and productivity, shaping industries and education, enhancing our personal and professional lives, and changing--mostly for the better--our society and lives.
Want to know what's coming next? Join us for our annual "Top Tech Trends" event as Jay Boisseau and Jay Williams again summarize what analysts are predicting for the year ahead and what technologies they think will have the most impact and influence in our lives and society in 2021 (and beyond). They'll share data, dive into a few examples, and offer predictions--and some suggestions for what to pay attention to, learn, and adopt in 2021. This event is co-sponsored by the Invited MBA
The Invited MBA is designed and run by Abilitie, a world leader in executive leadership and business education. The program provides tomorrow’s leaders the business, management, and leadership skills necessary to thrive in our fast-paced global business environment.
