On September 7, the first DLD AI Summit took place in the Amerikahaus in Munich. 600 participants followed inspiring panels and keynotes which focused on the transformation driven by AI.
Extraordinary times require new (event) formats: The international conference network DLD (Digital, Life, Design) launches a new interactive online event series called DLD Sync featuring one selected DLD speaker in each episode. In typical DLD manner, the corona pandemic and its impact are examined from a variety of perspectives together with business leaders, innovation champions, world-class scientists, and brilliant thinkers to exchange ideas and insights. Because who could be better suited to tackle a global crisis than such a diverse group of bright minds? Next week, on 28 April 2020, Oxford economist Carl Benedikt Frey will start with the first edition of DLD Sync.
“Our new online format DLD Sync is aimed to inspire the discussion about the challenges of the pandemic. We need new solutions and ideas to overcome the current crisis. As an international, interdisciplinary network, the DLD Community can contribute unexpected perspectives and food for thought.”

Future of Work & Covid-19
The starting signal for DLD Sync will be given on 28 April 2020 with the renowned economic historian and author Carl Benedikt Frey who will talk about “Future of Work – What Can History Teach Us About the Impact of Covid-19?”. He directs the program on the Future of Work at the Oxford Martin School and has written the book “The Technology Trap”. At the first edition of DLD Sync he will discuss amongst others the following questions: How does the economic fallout from the corona crisis compare to the 1918 flu pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis? And which key technologies and which jobs will be most demanded in the near future?
