The SingularityU NZ Summit brings together top experts on exponentially accelerating technologies with New Zealand and Australian leaders to help them compete in an exponentially changing world. Within 20 years, 47-81% of current jobs may be automated, including traditionally "safe" jobs, so understanding exponential technological growth and its effects is crucial. While technology poses threats, it also brings opportunities like an economy based on abundance rather than scarcity. The conference aims to discuss the strategic, policy, economic, and ethical implications of these changes as old rules no longer apply in an exponential world.

- 2. The SingularityU NZSummit brings the world’s top speakers and experts on exponentially accelerating technologies together with New Zealand's and Australia's leaders of today and tomorrow, giving us the knowledge and insight we need to compete — and win — in an exponentially changing world. Within the next 20 years, 47-81% of jobs as we currently understand them will be under threat from technology. This includes jobs that have always been considered ‘safe’ from automation. But until we achieve a collective understanding of what exponential technological growth truly looks like — and how it affects us all — we will be at a disadvantage. But the ever-increasing pace of change doesn't just hold threat — it also holds opportunity. We are shifting from an economic model based on scarcity to one based on abundance. What are the strategic implications? What kinds of policies do we need? What is the impact on our economy? What are the ethical considerations? None of the old rules apply. 14th-16th November 2016 Horncastle Arena

New things… Makes ‘things’ obsolete- transformational Horse & car v’s the car… the car v’s the electric vehicle… the stethoscope as product or app??? A unique conference of the impact of technologies on business, economics, education and political fields. The future seemed to be slowly approaching, I wasn’t aware it had already arrived… Moving, inspiring, exciting. Thanks for the opportunity.
