Conference to Discuss the Workforce of the Future
The workforce of the future will be the theme of this year’s Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership annual conference.
The conference, which has become established as the biggest event in the Greater Lincolnshire business calendar, takes place on Tuesday 7th November 2023 at the Lincolnshire Showground.
Delegates can expect to be wowed by an array of high-tech exhibits demonstrating future technologies and innovations in the world of work – from drones and artificial intelligence to robots and virtual reality.
And the keynote speech will be delivered by Paul Redmond, an employment guru at Liverpool University and an expert in the future of work.
As usual, admission to this event is free, and those attending will hear talks on the future workforce, panel discussions, and an overview of the impact the Greater Lincolnshire LEP has had in the past year.
There will also be a buffet lunch and plenty of opportunities for networking.
“The annual LEP conference has become a highlight of the Lincolnshire business calendar, and we’re looking forward to welcoming hundreds of delegates to the event,” said Professor Neal Juster, Chair of the Greater Lincolnshire LEP.
“This year we’re collaborating with our experts and partners to offer insights and paint a picture of what our workforce could look like in the future.
“The next few decades are likely to bring enormous changes in the way we live and work, and it’s vital that business leaders are adaptable and open to change in order to seize the opportunities that new technologies and new ways of working will bring.
“If you haven’t already done so, please sign up for your free ticket – it would be good to meet you there.”
The Greater Lincolnshire LEP Conference takes place from 8.15am until 1.45pm at the EPIC Centre, Lincolnshire Showground, Lincoln on Tuesday 7th November 2023.
