Join us for a special summer edition of the Thursday Gathering as we celebrate the final Digital Thursday and explore the technologies, ideas and people shaping the Intelligence Age.
This evening brings together researchers, founders, innovators and industry leaders to examine how AI is moving from the lab into the real world. We'll celebrate the communities, collaborations and entrepreneurial journeys that have helped shape the region's digital ecosystem, while looking ahead to the opportunities AI presents for business, society and the future of work.
Expect inspiring conversations, new connections and a fitting send-off for Digital Thursday's remarkable journey.
