We invite the local business community to join with technology industry experts for a lively round table discussion about the digital impact, automation and what this might mean for the economy of New Zealand's regions.

As 46% of New Zealand's jobs are at risk of being replaced by automation by 2035, it becomes increasingly essential to consider approaches to ensure our ecnomies can stand up to the oncoming wave.

Hosted by Digital Future Aotearoa, the panel will include experts from Microsoft, Spark, Verizon Connect, University of Canterbury and Optimal BI. The discussion will be open and guests invited to participate and share their thoughts.

Following the panel discussion a light lunch will be served, thanks to Catalyst IT.
