Event Information
About this event
The second and third industrial revolutions provided unparalleled prosperity for the human race - but at what cost?
In the first decades of the 21st Century, the rapidly emerging fourth industrial revolution is forcing us to reconsider our approach to life - one that is connected unlike ever before.
The share economy is the first installment of what lies in store as Capitalism is joined by a new emerging economic system - the Collaborative Commons.
This model is being fueled by the evolution of the Internet and a generation that seeks a shift towards triple bottom line values of People, Planet and Profit and a democratised global economy.
We stand at the precipice of a golden age, but only if we start to think and act as a global society, the guardians of our entire planet.
The third Future Forum event for 2021 - Reset - will be a cross-disciplinary discussion focusing on the fourth industrial revolution and the circular economic principles that will drive it.
We will explore waste - time, money, resources, skills - and delve into how we reset our way of thinking to focus on the benefits of life cycle assessment and circular economy.
How do we re-use, repair, recycle, refurbish, redistribute...?
Leading the discussion will be Jodie Bricout - Adjunct Senior Lecturer at University of Adelaide and Circular Economy Manager at Lifecycles with a keynote presentation. Jodie is one of Australia’s leading circular economy experts, with two decades’ experience working alongside research, government and industry in Australia, Dubai and Europe.
Jodie has helped dozens of businesses seize the benefits of life cycle assessment and circular approaches and contributed to shaping state, federal and European policy. She has collaborated with 100 of the planet’s leading corporations, emerging innovators, governments, cities and higher learning institutions in the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s CE 100 program.
Following Jodie's keynote, an interactive panel discussion including some of South Australia's leading thinkers.
Panel Guests:
Dr Ian Overton (Chief Executive - Green Industries SA)
Anton Andreacchio (Managing Director - Convergen Group)
Genene Kleppe (CEO + Founder - Digital Twinning Australia)
Aaron Hickmann (CEO + Founder - VALO).
The audience will have the opportunity to interact with the panel and contribute to live discussions through a platform that you can connect to using your mobile device. As always, we will close with a live Q & A held at the end of the panel discussion.
Networking will follow at Electra House where you can connect with other like-minded South Australian's to help your big ideas to grow.
