Gen Z is already reshaping the workplace and the changes are happening faster than most people realise. In this insightful Access Plus keynote, Apoorva Panidapu, a leading Gen Z futurist and workplace expert, explores how Gen Z’s values, skills, and expectations are transforming careers, leadership, and success in the age of AI and rapid change.
She will unpack what Gen Z wants from work, which skills will matter most in the future, why traditional career paths are breaking down, and how all generations can stay relevant, resilient, and future-ready. With Gen Z set to become the largest generation in the workforce by 2030 (and AI transforming millions of jobs) understanding the future of work isn’t optional anymore.
This session is perfect for Gen Z students and early-career professionals, and just as valuable for anyone navigating career change, leadership, or a rapidly evolving workplace, because the future Gen Z is creating is the future we’ll all be working in.
