The Rise of 5G:
Empowering the Next Enterprise Evolution

For today’s business leaders and senior technology executives, many want to know just how fast 5G will be. While we still don’t know with certainty — the impact of 5G wireless networks could be far more dramatic than speed alone. Better resolution, significantly lower latency and new capacity can transform industries, unlocking the full potential of the enterprise network and drive new investments around mobility, IoT, AI, and customer experience. While consumers are likely to drive demand for 5G devices, connectivity promises to be a major force in enterprise adoption.

Bloomberg will convene senior leaders across industries to explore how 5G networks can empower business leaders to collaborate, transform ecosystems and solve some of the world’s most critical challenges. From improving efficiencies of remote work to making AI-powered devices smarter and safer, 5G is expected to open new worlds of possibility for visionaries and pragmatists alike.

The Future Of Work

In the past few years we have seen a dramatic shift in the workplace, roles dramatically reshaped or replaced by robots, remote workers becoming more prevalent, and businesses relocating offices to more cost-efficient cities.

We’ll take a look at the impact 5G technology has on jobs. Will more companies shift to shared work spaces or relocate as telecommuters continue to grow. How do companies ensure clients and employees interact in a meaningful way in this environment? What human skills will be required to manage emerging technologies and how can we empower our children and existing employees to tackle the jobs of the future.

IoT Secure

To succeed in a world of intense disruption where technology like IoT, 5G and big data analytics are transforming the way companies handle everything from decision making to customer service it’s imperative for c-suite leaders to not only adapt new technologies at a rapid pace; but to also make cyber security a top priority.  As hacks grow in sophistication, companies are increasingly vulnerable and a security breach could cost millions of dollars, destroy customer trust and c-suite level careers.

Executives will share their views on how they are adopting a more proactive approach to securing critical data and preventing insider threats as they adopt 5G ecosystems and innovate their respective businesses.
