This summer the Emerce eDay programme team has been busy (between heat waves), finalising what we hope you’ll find to be up there among the most interesting, topical, and eyebrow-raising programmes we have had the pleasure of bringing you.

Here’s another peek at what’s in store on October 10th.

Building on the theme of beyond the screen, below are a handful of the tech-related talks we’ve curated for eDay guests:

• Named one of MIT’s 35 Innovators Under 35, Graphika CIO’s Camille Francois uncovers the threats and breaks down the tech. Media manipulation, fake news and harassment has become more and more sophisticated. A fascinating study in tech evolution - if it weren’t so alarming.
• Is technology killing empathy? Pamela Pavliscak of the Pratt Institute will give a keynote on designing for a cohesive society.
• Just 40 years ago, China had no market economy. Fast forward to 2019, China is the biggest e-commerce market in the world. WE Marketing Group’s Viveca Chan tells all about China’s tech disruption and what’s on the horizon
• Can you date a girl named Alexa in the age of technology? Hilarious and poignant, don’t miss stand up comedian Sean McLoughlin’s topical talk.
• What is life like in outer space? Can we give birth there? Eat well there? Maggie Coblentz of MIT Media Lab Space Exploration Initiative will share the latest developments in space technology and our outlook into life beyond.

Stay tuned for more sneak-peeks, and in case you haven’t already done so - snag your ticket to Emerce eDay 2019 before it sells out!
