This event is a great opportunity to network with industry peers, share best practices, and explore new collaborations that can boost your organization’s competitive advantage.
Whether you’re looking to scale your use of IDTs or provide digital solutions to manufacturers, this event will offer valuable takeaways and practical guidance to help you stay ahead of the curve.
Don’t miss out on this chance to be part of the conversation shaping the future of UK manufacturing.
Event Overview
In this rapidly evolving AI era, human irreplaceability lies in our ability to tell compelling stories. We are story-driven beings, creating and believing in narratives about nations, deities, corporations, money, love, and ideologies—concepts that, though not natural, shape our history and society.
These stories give meaning to our lives and motivate us to act. Ultimately, our success in persuading leaders and stakeholders to build an equitable future depends on the stories we tell.
We would like to invite you to share your vision of a just future and how we might achieve it by taking part in this workshop.
Participants will have the opportunity to choose an interesting thought experiment to engage with and share with the group, in a session designed to build confidence and the free exchange of ideas.
Learn about the process of storyboard creation and Generative AI, and then create your own storyboard with AI image generators Midjourney and DALL-E.
