Reimagination Thought Leaders Summit 2016 and Digital Disruptors Awards 2016 | 1 December 2016, Sydney, Australia

­\;

ACS is proud to bring the Reimagination Thou ght Leaders&rsquo\; Summit 2016 and Digital Disruptors Awards to Sydney on 1 December 2016. The purpose is to bring together leaders from the techno logy industry, the wider business sector, the education and research commu nities and the political sphere to advance the conversation on entrepreneu rialism, innovation and competitive advantage for Australia to create a vi brant and innovative technology sector able to take advantage of opportuni ties to prosper in the digital and knowledge economies.

We know tha t artificial intelligence, big data, automation and other technology areas offer the nation the ability to create new products and services across m ultiple sectors. Having said this, issues around digital literacy across t he broader population exist along with a decline in education standards co mbined with disruption across traditional business models. This raises que stions about whether Australia can leverage opportunities such as these.

IBISWorld  \;predicts \;that 10 out of Australia&rsquo\;s 19 industry sector s will either be transformed or derive significant benefits from ICT by 20 50, while 40% of current jobs have been identified as having the potential to be replaced by automation. There is a clear need for Australia to fost er practical adoption of innovation and entrepreneurialism not just so tha t our country isn&rsquo\;t a significant loser on the global stage, not ju st to compete on the global stage but how we can contribute and become a g lobal leader.

To support Australia in this transition and on this j ourney, assuring the pipeline of future ICT human capital is a critical ch allenge to driving productivity and to enhance standards of living for dev eloped economies, as well as raising standards of living for developing ec onomies.

The Reimagination Thought Leaders&rsquo\; Summit will feat ure international and Australian leaders that will provide practical know how, critical thinking and their views and opinions on how Australia can f lourish and prosper in the digital future and knowledge economy.
