Theme: ReImagine

With the start of the new year, let’s freshen our minds by re-examining the continuously evolving world in which we live. We will have 4-5 fascinating speakers share their viewpoints inspired by the theme “Re-Imagine.”

The speakers will talk about new ways of thinking, new perspectives, and new technologies that are needed to redefine our relationship with society to create a better world. The talks will challenge us to ask the question, how can we break away from conventional norms and re-imagine the relationship with ourselves and the world around us?
