This applies to both larger charities who are fighting slow and out-dated legacy processes, and smaller charities trying to break through with limited resources and tight budgets. Across the sector as a whole, not-for-profit organisations find themselves competing with the commercial sector for top digital talent to remain relevant, innovative and impactful in the digital age. Taking place at Hilton Canary Wharf. Tickets from £350. 18 February: How to compete in the age of AI – If you’re interested in digital transformation and innovation in business, this is an unmissable evening. For any business professional looking to succeed in this evolving environment, Marco Iansiti and Karim R. Lakhani will describe new challenges and responsibilities facing the leaders of both digital and traditional firms, as well as offering an essential guide to the future of AI and business. This event will take place at Nesta’s offices on Tuesday 18 February from 6:00PM to 9:00PM. Buy your tickets. March 2020 5 March: Social Media Exchange – A training day for anyone working in the charity sector who is interested in the power of storytelling and the impact it can have to; raise awareness, call to action, recruit volunteers, engage supporters and generate funds. Improve your media know-how, tap into your creativity, develop new skills, enhance your digital storytelling skills and meet lots of creative people. Tickets from £195. 5 March: #BeMoreDigital2020 – 300+ delegates, 16 sessions, and 5 interactive panels. When thinking about what this year’s theme should be, we found that charities were often scared by the term ‘digital transformation’. The more we dug into it, it became clearer that it’s not about transformation, but how charities can #BeMoreDigital. This conference will equip charities with the knowledge, skills and support to do exactly that. Tickets from £88. 24 March: The Rules of Contagion – In this conversation, epidemiologist Adam Kucharski reveals how new mathematical approaches are transforming what we know about contagion – from the revolutionary initiatives that helped tackle gun violence in Chicago to the truth behind the spread of fake news. And along the way, he’ll explain how innovations and emotions can spread through our friendship networks, what STDs can tell us about banking, and why some outbreak predictions go badly wrong. This event will take place at Nesta’s offices on Tuesday 24 March from 6:00PM to 9:00PM.
