The inaugural WorldPost conference took place in London on March 5-6, 2015. The conference explored the ways technology is reshaping The Future of Work, from the automation of the workforce to the new paradigm of consistent disruption for businesses and how individuals are redefining success.
Featured speakers included Eric Schmidt, Executive Chairman of Alphabet; Reid Hoffman, Co-Founder of LinkedIn; Walter Isaacson, President of the Aspen Institute and Author of “Steve Jobs”; Arianna Huffington, Founder and Editor in Chief of the Huffington Post and Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan.
In a provocative interview at the Future of Work gala dinner, Queen Rania of Jordan addressed the tension between social-media enabled progress and fundamentalist backlashes. Nearly 1M readers and viewers tuned into the WorldPost coverage of her interview.
