Event Format

About the Event
The digital world is changing faster than ever. From artificial intelligence and automation to cyber security and emerging digital technologies. The skills employers need are evolving.
In this practical and engaging masterclass, Steve Denniss and Helen Walker draw on more than 40 years of experience working on major engineering and technology projects around the world to explore what the future of work could look like — and, more importantly, what you can do now to prepare for it.
We’ll look beyond the technology itself to consider:
How AI is changing the workplace and the skills we need.
Why cyber security is central to your skill set.
The digital skills that will increasingly matter across every career.
How to work with AI rather than compete against it.
The importance of human skills — communication, creativity, curiosity, adaptability and critical thinking.
How to build a mindset that embraces change rather than fears it.
Practical steps you can take today to become more confident, capable and future-ready.
The key message: You don’t need to be a technology expert to thrive in a digital future. You need to understand how technology is changing the world, know how to use it intelligently and develop the transferable skills that technology cannot replace.
An interactive masterclass designed to inform, challenge and inspire you to think differently about your future.
Who Can Attend?
This event is open to anyone interested in entrepreneurship, innovation, leadership, and business growth.
