Imagine a world where things talk to, listen to and observe all of us. Where biometric data about us is compiled in real-time; as we eat, sleep, exercise and go about our daily lives. And where devices talk to other devices about our data at speeds beyond human comprehension. That world is today.

Join us for part one of Stone & Chalk’s new event series “The Future Is Here" where renowned Futurist and Author Rocky Scopelliti will explore what a hyper-connected world and smart cities could look like by 2030. He will also explain how individuals, businesses and the economy will be impacted by hyper-connectivity, highlighting the part that 5G will play.

Rocky's keynote will be followed by an expert panel to discuss:

The rollout plans for 5G across Australia
The differences between 4G & 5G, including the switch to millimetre waves
Future planning for Australian cities and where we are sitting locally vs internationally
The new Infrastructure needed to create a highly connected society
How businesses and society will benefit from ultra-fast and hyper-connected cities
Potential risks involved with data sharing and hyper-connected living
5G vs Fibre Optics and how they correlate
Why Adelaide is Australia’s most connected city and how this is supporting rapid growth in their local tech industry

The discussion will be moderated by Chris Kirk, General Manager of Stone & Chalk Adelaide. He will be joined by our expert panel, including:

Matthew Schultz - President, Australian Smart Communities Association
Sandra Vallance - CEO, Sabrenet
Dave Gerner - Innovation Manager at City of Adelaide
Rocky Scopelliti - Futurologist, Author and Board Director
Faheem Tabassum - Senior Manager, 5G Cloud Edge, Optus

The event will be hosted at Stone & Chalk Adelaide with limited physical registrations available. You can also register to join our virtual audience on the day. The session will allow for audience Q&A at the end.
