Overview
THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY IN THE TECH INDUSTRY...
WHAT IS THE PATH TO A BETTER WORLD WITH AI & TECH?
Tech promised to set us free. Instead, in 2026, it's cutting budgets, cutting salaries, and cutting people — even as it promises a smarter, AI-powered future just around the corner. The Tech Series doesn't pretend this contradiction away. It puts it on the table, in the room, under Chatham House rules, and asks the people actually living it to tell the truth about where this is really heading. Join us on the journey to find a better path with AI & Tech — and without it, because some things will always stay human.
As always, our Speakers and First Senators will be shaping the journey with us, forming an Open Boardroom together with you, modern-day Argonauts.
Act I — The Good
What AI and tech are genuinely delivering: new capability, new categories, new companies.
Act II — The Bad
Declining budgets, falling salaries, redundancies as the new normal. What does leading a tech function actually look like right now, from inside a large organisation living through this contraction?
Act III — The Ugly
What tech is doing to trust, to attention, to meaning, to the shape of work itself.
The Voyage Into The Unknown…
"What is the path to a better world with AI & Tech?" Not a neat answer — a genuine open question thrown to the room, in true Open Boardroom style, our unique format.
Moderated by Olivier Vojetta
