According to PwC, 63% of global CEOs are concerned about the availability of key skills. As a result, corporate demand for freelance workers is increasing. Labor economists expect freelancers to comprise as much as 50% of the workforce by 2019, allowing companies access to the talent and skill sets that fit their precise needs. Upwork’s Work Without Limits™ Executive Summit brought forward-thinking executives from Fortune 1000 companies to discuss the trends driving the future of work and how enterprise are rethinking and revising the talent frameworks of their organizations.

Title: What Does Sustainable Developmentof Science and TechnologyLook Like in the 21st Century? Author: Daniel B. Oerther, PhD, PE, BCEE John A. and Susan Mathes Chair of Environmental Health Engineering, Missouri University of Science and Technology Jefferson Science Fellow, Secretary’s Office of Global Food Security, Department of State Abstract: Science and technology innovation – from the discovery of fire to electricity to computers – has allowed the creation of new and more efficient global economies. As we have developed from hunter- gathering communities, to agricultural economies, and very recently to industrial, service, and knowledge economies, some groups across the globe have been left behind financially. Looking ahead towards 2050, the employment opportunities in human computation promise to: 1) solve challenging problems and 2) simultaneously grow economically. Human computation is a computer science technique in which a machine performs its function by out-sourcing certain steps to humans. Combined with the internet of things and additive manufacturing, the greatest untapped resource of the developing world is the vastly under-utilized intellectual capacity of billions across the globe. Rather than promote development policies and programs that incrementally bring the financially impoverished through the stages of personal and economic development, this presentation will argue that a leap frog approach relying upon science and technology innovation is the path we should pursue for sustainable development. Biography: Dr. Daniel Oerther earned his doctorate in environmental engineering from the University of Illinois. He pursued additional graduate training in microbial ecology (Marine Biology Laboratory), public health (Johns Hopkins), and public administration (Indiana). He was a member of the faculty of the University of Cincinnati from 2000-9 including one year as Head of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Professor Oerther is currently the John A. and Susan Mathes Chair of Environmental Health Engineering at the Missouri University of Science and Technology. @DanielOerther describes himself as, “a social entrepreneur using design thinking to eliminate extreme poverty, ensure access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene, and to protect global food security and nutrition.”

Technological evolution is constantly reshaping the future of work. Technology—both visible and invisible—transforms the workplace as it transforms the inhabitants. We’ll study the effects of technology on the workplace, and provide insight into the workplace of the future. Major drivers of change—including globalization, technology, and demographics—raise the question of how to ensure optimal worker engagement and productivity. Explore these ideas and identify the real effects of technology on people and places. We’ll discuss what the future workplace might look like, including how the very concept of work is evolving. Discover the key tensions that are present in today’s workplace and look at the influence of technology across all business sectors. You’ll gain a new perspective on technology, its impact on today’s workforce, and why organizations must take notice.

We're living the AI revolution and Salesforce is adapting and bring new value to their customers. Einstein products are evolving rapidly and navigating their limitations, language support, and use cases can be challenging. Let's make review of what Einstein product are available currently, what are the capabilities and what can be used for in CEE region and how Rossie.ai can help to learn Salesforce speak Czech. We will explore the Einstein roadmap and I will make a short live demo (based on your vote) of some Einstein feature.

I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
