In a world where change is the only constant, the workforce is undergoing a seismic shift, leaving buildings vacant and jobs obsolete. The rise of remote work and hybrid models has propelled the office market vacancy rate to a 30-year high of 17.3% as of Q4 2022. But amidst this disruption, there lies a beacon of opportunity: Artificial Intelligence (AI).
AI is not just reshaping the future of work—it’s redefining it. With the potential to displace roughly 15% of workers, or 400 million people, worldwide between 2016 and 2030, AI presents both challenges and opportunities for workers, educators, and students alike. But fear not, for where there is disruption, there is also opportunity for growth and learning.
Enter Wondertonk—the experimental festival and community at the forefront of exploring the possibilities, concerns, and utilizations of AI across all industries. With a mission to empower individuals to navigate the ever-changing landscape of AI with confidence and curiosity, Wondertonk offers a wealth of resources and experiences tailored to millennials and the workforce. We hope to see you at the Wondertonk AI Festival May 17th – 18th in Chicago. Subscribe to attend our festival.
But what sets Wondertonk apart from other AI events? For starters, AI is not just a buzzword here—it’s a tangible force driving innovation and transformation. As AI becomes increasingly consumer-friendly, with the conversational AI market expected to reach USD 29.8 billion by 2028 and the generative AI market projected to grow to USD 51.8 billion, there’s never been a better time to explore how these emerging technologies are impacting people, communities, and cities. Moreover, Wondertonk recognizes the need for inclusivity and diversity in the AI industry—a sector that remains fragmented with no clear leader or diverse audiences. While other events may cater to stiff corporate environments and lack widespread consumer appeal, Wondertonk is breaking the mold by providing an innovative platform that brings together diverse stakeholders and facilitates meaningful interactions for the next generation.
So, what can millennials and the workforce expect from Wondertonk? A journey of discovery, collaboration, and innovation unlike any other. From thought-provoking panels and creative exhibitions to educational labs and electrifying debates, Wondertonk offers a rich tapestry of experiences designed to engage, enlighten, and inspire. Whether you’re a seasoned professional looking to future-proof your career, an aspiring entrepreneur eager to disrupt the status quo, or a professionals seeking to unlock the potential of AI, Wondertonk welcomes you with open arms.
