During our online conference, we will talk with the invited speakers about the development of new technologies, business evolution, and upcoming changes in various industries, resulting from the pandemic.

Currently, we are living in a different world than two months ago. Everything has changed, including the politics, the social context, and the ways we communicate. The new reality has made us reflect on the current state of affairs and forced us to think about the future in a new way.

The theme of the 4th edition of the our conference seems to be especially valid. We are going ABOVE AND BEYOND the information that we are receiving. We monitor mass media, the space around us, watch various industries, and we analyze different contexts. We study divergent influences and the current state of affairs. We point out data and information that has impact on our lives. We highlight social and communication changes. We forecast the future, draw conclusions, and share them with others.
