Post Covid-19 Futures

About this event
For over a year businesses have been fire-fighting in the face of Covid-19 and related lockdown measures. In mid 2021, some semblance of normality may return, but we will not go back to business as usual.
Already the pandemic has accelerated the rise of homeworking, digital interfaces and localization. To combat climate change, pollution and resource depletion, we will also need to further embrace these and many other new normals forged in the face of the coronavirus. For some time it has been clear that how we live and conduct business needs to change, and this webinar will highlight what businesses need to do to prepare for possible post Covid futures.
Join us for this online event, as we welcome back to the network one of our most popular speakers, professional futurist Christopher Barnatt. Over his many years working with the University of Nottingham, Chris's fascinating insights have always proven a real highlight of our event programme, so this session is one not to be missed.
