The global pandemic has raised important questions about the way we live and work with others. A recent study from Credit Suisse reveals that the top global concerns, aside from the coronavirus, include financial and political corruption, poverty and social inequality, and healthcare and unemployment. But in the midst of adversity there is always opportunity. In this case, it’s to ask ourselves how we can create a better and more equitable future for ourselves and those around us.

In the upcoming edition of Gen.T Stream, a virtual conference from Generation T, we will explore how we can create positive impact in the context of this new normal.

The event on October 23, themed “Creating Social Impact in a Post-Covid World”, is sponsored by Credit Suisse and will feature a world-class line-up of speakers.

What you can expect

Tech entrepreneur and Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales will discuss how we can build a better tomorrow using technology. Wales, a tech optimist who advocates for the potential positive impact of technology on our lives, recently launched a new social news site, WT Social, that aims to tackle the scourge of fake news.

We’ll also be speaking to data scientist and social researcher Christopher Wylie. Perhaps best known as the whistle-blower in the Cambridge Analytica scandal, Wylie is an advocate for how we can and should use data for good, and how companies can operate in a more ethical, sustainable and ultimately profitable manner.

To narrow in on the responsibilities of the next generation in this new world, we’ll also be speaking to Dr James Gifford, Head of Impact Advisory, Credit Suisse to explore some of the key insights behind its recent report Creating A World With The Next Generation. We’ll be exploring the expectations, needs and ambitions of the next generation of entrepreneurs, future business leaders and global philanthropists.
