Cremorne Connect

Every so often a technology arrives that resets the rules for entire industries. The steam engine did it. Electricity did it. Reichental's argument is that AI is doing it again, faster, and he calls this moment the 'Cognitive Industrial Revolution'.

​Dr Jonathan Reichental has spent his career at the front of these shifts. He was a Silicon Valley CIO, he writes on technology for Forbes, and he has authored bestselling books on data, smart cities and the future of work. He is one of the clearer voices on what AI changes in practice, without the hype and without the doom.

​Join us at Cremorne Digital Hub (CDH) for a keynote by Dr Reichental on the most significant technological transformation of our time and what it means for the next generation of students, founders, and innovators. Expect a practical framework for navigating the AI era, identifying where the real opportunities lie, and building businesses that can thrive in a rapidly changing world.

A facilitated Q&A with Alan Tsen from Cremorne Digital Hub and networking will follow.
