In 2020, New Ventures Australia created and launched The Digital Entrepreneur’s Leadership Forum (DELF) OZ virtual webinar series in response to the Covid19 pandemic. The theme of the series was the future of digital (media& technology) emerging in the “new normal”.
A topic which proved to be of most interest and sparking ongoing dialogue and discussion was The Future of Work and the Great Reset, the title of a presentation given by Gary Bolles, faculty Chair for the Future of Work at Singularity University.
Continuing our partnership with Gary Bolles, New Ventures Australia is excited to announce and support Global Skills Day on July 20th, 2021, (PDT time) This inspirational thoughts leader’s conference is designed to create a shared vision of an inclusive future for work and learning.
