Dinner Speaker - Communication and Social/Economic Development: An Indigenous Perspective

President, The Imagination Group

The social impact of information technology is examined from two perspectives. The first seeks to utilize technology and communication infrastructures for sharing knowledge and resources as a vehicle to increase the capacity and capability of communities, to provide access to the world, foster culture and tradition, maximize resources, and create wealth. Partnerships and technology-based solutions equalize the playing field for rural communities by providing access to services and business partnerships. However, a cautionary note is offered with respect to the potential for technology to compromise the intellectual property of elders and traditional knowledge.

Global futurist, keynote speaker and best-selling author

The potential of technology to impact business life, government services and society is immense.

In this closing keynote presentation, Jack Uldrich, noted futurist, best-selling author and change management consultant, will highlight the major findings of the Beyond 2010 conference and will explain how "unlearning" can help unlock the full potential of tomorrow's exciting future.
