AI, Innovation, the Future of Careers: Competing in the Global Economy
🌏 What does it take to build a career — and a country — that competes in the global knowledge economy?
We’re bringing Stephen Ezell to Perth for an evening of ideas and connection. Stephen is Vice President for Global Innovation Policy at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) in Washington, D.C., and one of the world’s sharpest voices on how nations compete through innovation, trade, and emerging technology.
In this keynote, Stephen unpacks how AI is reshaping industries, skills, and careers — and what Australia, WA, and its next generation of talent can do to stay ahead.
