About this event
Join us on 10 December, 5:30 PM AEDT for our upcoming EdXN event with Michelle Ash, CEO, GEOVIA at Dassault Systèmes. Michelle has been at the helm of ushering in innovation and exciting new ways of thinking as the mining sector undergoes an industry-wide transformation. In the Technology Impacts on the Australian Workforce Report published by Faethm AI, technology augmentation and automation has the potential to create 5.6 million new jobs by 2034. The impact of new and emerging technology such as virtual reality (VR) will be visible across industries in the future of work. It is up to us to be prepared to harness our natural talents and be ready to grab the opportunities that emerge over the next decade.
At this event, you will hear:
- How to use data to improve business processes, drive returns, and deliver real benefits to customers.
- How much data we need to drive the results we are after. And if there is such a thing as having ‘too much’ data.
- How interactive 3D environments are changing the way we engage with each other and what will be possible in smart cities of the future.
- How to identify and safeguard against safety concerns in projects by employing virtual twins and VR technology.
- How technological innovation can help contribute to a more sustainable society.
