THEME – The Next 5
Preface by Emeritus Professor Greg Whateley
This Symposium discusses the emphasis on predicting what the next 5 years will look like from a number of perspectives. The challenge this time around is to look closely at what we have achieved to date - and then, using a longer lens, predict what our future (within a number of industries) will actually look like. It is not so much about 'crystal ball gazing' as an informed (and possibly optimistic) projection of both ourselves and the world around us.
