TMW x SXSW: The Wild West
08:45
-10:30
Origin Workspace, 40 Berkeley Square Bristol BS8 1HP
Talk
Every year, TMW sends our strategy team out to attend South by Southwest, the world’s biggest technology and arts festival, to learn about the changes that are likely to shape our world and the industry.
But you don’t need to go all the way to Austin, Texas to see we’re living through a period of chaos. The pace of change has become so rapid that predicting the future feels less possible than ever. The models we’ve traditionally relied upon to understand, predict and plan are failing.
There’s vigilantism and lawlessness. Hucksters and quacks. Unprecedented risks and enormous opportunities. You could say: we’re living in the wild, wild west.
Come join our breakfast session to hear the good, the bad and the ugly of SXSW, and our recommendations for how to wrangle the chaos.
Agenda:
08:45 Doors open for breakfast
09:15 Event Start
10:30 Event Finish
