Description
Following on from a successful 2017 season, The Greenhouse Sessions are a monthly gathering of influential business leaders, passionate change-makers, experts and people curious to understand how we can leverage emerging technology to save the planet.
But this is so much more than just another tech meet-up.
Using the power of storytelling by Bjorn Stewart, an Indigenous actor and star of ABC's "Black Comedy", a panel of leading thinkers, a sprinkling of start-ups, content capture and collaboration, the Greenhouse Sessions promise to educate, inspire and create a framework for collaboration - leaving the audience with the power to author a different future.
In this session, we will be looking at the future of mobility. From autonomous vehicles to multi-modal transport systems, hyperloops and space travel, we will go on a journey through how the proposed transport infrastructure of the future will change how we travel. And most importantly, how the future of mobility will change us, from the way our cities are organised to the way we communicate and even the way we interact and build relationships. Be prepared for some tough questions, and some interesting answers from our panellists:
- Philip Thalis - Independent Councillor at City of Sydney leading the 2050 Transport Plan, and an award-winning Architect
- Lisa McLean - CEO of Open Cities, and an advocate for the Circular Economy and a Low Carbon Economy
- Andrew Mahaffey - Director of HMI Technologies, and a leader in Intelligent Transportation Systems
- Dr Michelle Zeibots - Research Director for the UTS Transport Research Centre and Institute for Sustainable Futures
The evening's event will also feature three innovative start-ups pitching for your vote, $1,000 in prize money and the chance to win $10,000 at the grand finale.
