In this year's ELP Annual Leadership Conference we will look at the future of humanity: What does it mean to be human in this digitizing, globalizing world?

Organizations are systems of human beings working together to achieve common goals. Increasingly, humans are collaborating with intelligent machines. Nevertheless, leadership – for the time being – fundamentally is about relationships, about connecting as human beings. Technology creates new opportunities for organizations, but success depends on how people take advantage of these opportunities as individuals and in teams.
How can individuals give their best and be their best in today’s and tomorrow’s organizations? How can we keep a human dimension in large, international organizations? How should leaders deal with the uncertainty and volatility that they are experiencing?
