Our bodies are the epicenter of the future of health. Digital technologies are coming closer to our bodies, engaging with us in enhanced diagnostics, being worn by us, being implanted inside our bodies, to assist those with disabilities and to augment our capabilities. Here, with the intimate nature of the connection, the digital is affecting us from the inside out. Meanwhile, digital technologies are becoming more prominent in our healthcare environments, through digital/AI assistance and diagnoses, emerging regulations that mandate sharing our health data, and private or hybrid forms of healthcare that promise new forms of health prevention and optimization. This sociotechnical environment is affecting us from the outside in.

We bring industry, startup, education, and policy experts together to help us explore and navigate this uncertain, exciting, and concerning space. Digital technologies and data enable new forms of health optimization, going well beyond our current understanding of "healthcare".

While we have all heard the narratives about health futures, where data is used for prevention, self-care, and even the avoidance of traditional medical interventions, and where care is delivered outside hospital walls - perhaps even within our bodies, enabled by implanted intelligence - many of us still wonder: will this ever happen?

This session explores current and promising trends for the future of work in distributed, collaborative, and hybrid settings, and focuses on how leadership can thrive in these challenging contexts.

In an expert panel, we will discuss leadership in professional service firms focused on attracting and retaining talent, the dynamics of hybrid work across global contexts, and the evolving landscape of co-working, talent expectations, and human-machine interaction. The panel brings together scholars researching collaboration, leadership, and hybrid work, alongside practitioners from firms experimenting with innovative remote working formats. This session is designed to provide the audience with new insights into what challenges and opportunities the future of work entails.

Computer gaming and esports have distinct roots in the Nordics and in Sweden. They have influenced the way people play and learn and continue to shape the biggest slice of the entertainment industry globally.

The way we learn is connected to how we play: Digital gaming experiences can bring people together and help develop skills. Our session offers the audience a taste of interactive play and a discussion about when and how we learn with and through gaming. Which skills do games enhance? When do we play at work or work when playing?

A panel of experts on gaming, including experienced players, entrepreneurs and academics, will cover broad developments within entertainment, learning, and business.
