SUMMARY:Future of Work Summit
DESCRIPTION:Whilst the future remains uncertain\, innovation and technology continue to lead instrumental change in the nature of work. But is it sustainable\, and how can companies prepare for a future not yet defined? Future of Work Summit 2021 is committed to delivering key insights into new ways of working\, providing a platform to discuss and debate the challenges and solutions – underpinned by the transformative impact of technology. \nWith 2020 providing an unintentional mass home working experiment\, we have proven our resilience\, as employees continue to work\, develop new skills\, and adopt new ways of living. These changes to how we work provided a temporary solution\, and now the question remains; how do we create a sustainable future of work which continues to use technology to build a more effective workplace? \nThis year\, we will focus the conversation through these key topics: \n\nThe growing need for robust working solutions. Employees proved they can work effectively outside the office hub\, promoting the rise of the future of hybrid working. With this however\, came new challenges concerning equality\, accessibility\, and security in a remote environment.\nAddressing the digital divide. There must be a move towards addressing the diverse digital habits and capabilities of each generation. This is key to managing the generation gap and attracting multigenerational talent in an increasingly competitive market.\nThe blend of technology and wellbeing. Something which has greatly suffered since the start of the pandemic\, maintaining this new level of support and engagement with colleagues will be a challenge. It has given rise to new expectations of companies to better prioritise wellbeing\, and to utilise technology to aid new strategies.\nCreating a desirable culture. This will be crucial for business leaders looking to attract and retain new talent whilst remaining competitive. Cultivating an inclusive environment to embrace all colleagues and empower diverse perspectives to drive change will be essential.\n\nIntegration of technology into the workplace has changed how employees and businesses engage with work\, whilst simultaneously workers’ expectations have begun to change as they search for greater flexibility and more meaning. The Future of Work Summit 2021 provides a unique opportunity to discuss these developing attitudes and gain new perspectives on the challenges. The way we work is changing\, and it has never been more important to understand and prepare for the future.

SUMMARY:Innovation for Targeted Management of Multimorbidity
DESCRIPTION:Innovate UK\, in collaboration with KTN\, will deliver a two day workshop on multiple long term conditions on the 22nd and 23rd of September 2021. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhile populations around the world are living longer and we better survive disease such as cancer\, multimorbidity is an emerging global health priority. Around 1 in every 4 of all adults in the UK are now living with two or more chronic medical conditions and the associated burden of polypharmacy. The impacts on patient outcomes are widely disproportionate across the UK with multimorbidity presenting on average 10-15 years earlier in disadvantaged populations. \nThe majority of diagnostics\, therapeutics and digital healthcare technologies currently being  developed target specific disease indications within separate patient interventions. \nThe vision to be discussed at this workshop is how an expanding knowledge of disease clusters and the biomarkers that underpin them can transform market opportunities and growth for UK businesses developing diagnostics\, therapeutics and digital solutions that are optimised and made available to all patients with multiple long-term conditions\, regardless of socioeconomic status. Advances in pharmacogenomic capabilities that inform personalised sensitivity to drugs and ease the burden of polypharmacy will also be discussed. \nIf you would like to contribute to this critical discussion\, please register your Expression of Interest for either or both of the following workshops. \n\nDay 1  – Challenges and opportunities for better detection\, diagnosis and clinical management of multimorbidity \nThe focus of this session is to explore how the UK health system is currently responding to the increasing number of patients with multiple long-term conditions and the impacts of healthcare inequalities on patient outcomes. We will also explore opportunities for businesses to bring about much needed innovations in the prevention\, early diagnosis and management of multi-morbidity. \nBreakout sessions \n\nHow to achieve an equitable\, inclusive\, patient-centred management of multimorbidity.\nSupport for business-led innovation: how to create an environment where multimorbidity solutions can be adopted?\nPopulation health and integrated care / outcomes based care: how can we deliver better management of multimorbidity in this evolving healthcare ecosystem?\n\nDay 2 –  Innovation to optimise  therapeutic options for prevention and treatment of multimorbidity \nThe focus of this day is to explore unmet clinical needs in the effective treatment and therapy of patients with multiple long term conditions. Such patients have been historically excluded from clinical trials and also suffer from the burden of polypharmacy complications that affect quality of life. Innovation that supports a more holistic and personalised intervention\, that applies patient stratification and pharmacogenomics\, could dramatically improve health outcomes for diverse patient groups. \nBreakout sessions \n\nChallenges and opportunities of delivering personalised treatment for multimorbid patients (including role of pharmacogenomics and polypharmacy)\nReal world clinical trials: how can we support a more inclusive approach?\nHow to translate complex data into meaningful clinical decision support?

SUMMARY:Building the Smarter State
DESCRIPTION:The seventh edition of our flagship public services conference\, Building the Smarter State\, will take place on 22 September. \nFor the last six years the conference has successfully attracted digital leaders from across the breadth of public and the private sectors to showcase how technology is shaping today’s and tomorrow’s public services – helping to build a smarter state. \nIt’s now ten years since the launch of the report that led to the founding of the Government Digital Service. The decade since has witnessed both significant disruption and progression in public sector transformation. As well as the establishing of GDS\, we’ve had the introduction of the Cloud First policy\, the creation of the Digital Marketplace\, the launch of the Local Digital Declaration and a new Local Digital Collaboration Unit\, a renewed emphasis on user centricity and the disaggregation of large IT and technology contracts. All of which helped propel the UK to the top spot in the UN’s E-Government Rankings in 2016. \nAlongside past pressures and the legacy of COVID-19\, 2021 has seen changes to public procurement\, key leaders in the heart of Government brought in to supercharge digitization\, and efforts to address the legacy estate\, harness data and develop capability across the public sector. \nIt feels like the UK is on the cusp of the next big leap forward in digital Government\, and it is crucial we get the first steps on that journey right. At this year’s conference senior leaders from the public sector and the civil service will explore the key issues and technologies that will usher in the next decade of public service transformation. \nEvent Information \nDate: 22 September \nLocation: Online \nTiming: 10:00 – 17:00 (please note timings may change slightly as the agenda is finalised) \nTickets:  \ntechUK member rate (standard) – £80+VAT \ntechUK member rate (SME) – £30+VAT \nNon-member rate – £200+VAT \nPublic Sector – this event is free to attend for public sector delegates\, if you have any issues registering please contact events@techUK.org.

SUMMARY:AI for Governance and Governance of AI
DESCRIPTION:How can we safely exploit and govern AI?\n\n\nSPEAKER\nMike Small of KuppingerCole \nAGENDA\n\n\n18:15 – Room Opens \n18.30 – Presentation \n19.30 – Close \n\n\nSYNOPSIS \nHow can we safely exploit and govern AI? \nArtificial Intelligence is a hot topic and many organizations are looking to exploit it\, but there are many concerns around the impact this will have on society. The concept of AI is not new\, but cloud computing has provided the access to data and computing power needed to turn it into a practical reality. \nHowever\, despite some concerns\, the current state of AI is still a long way from the Sci-Fi portrayal of a threat to humanity. Machine Learning technologies provide significantly improved capabilities to analyse large amounts of data. While this poses a threat of “Big Other” it also makes them suitable for spotting patterns and anomalies so\, potentially useful for detecting fraudulent activity\, security breaches and non-compliance. Whatever our concerns\, these technologies will be used by our cyber adversaries. \nArtificial Intelligence is a hot topic and many organizations are looking to exploit it\, but there are many concerns around the impact this will have on society.
