MIT Technology Review Announces Deloitte as Presenting Sponsor of the EmTech Next Conference, June 4-5


CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 24, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- MIT Technology Review today announced Deloitte, one of the largest professional services organizations and a leader in human capital consulting, will be the Presenting Sponsor of the inaugural EmTech Next event taking place at the MIT Media Lab on June 4-5, 2018. The latest in the EmTech event series, this conference will convene innovators, entrepreneurs and business leaders to discuss the future of work and how emerging technologies are augmenting human capabilities.

Janet Foutty, chairman and CEO of Deloitte Consulting LLP, will give a special presentation on the future of work to senior-level business and technology decision makers driving the global innovation economy.

A highlight of Deloitte's role as presenting sponsor will include a presentation by Janet Foutty, chairman and CEO of Deloitte Consulting LLP, on Monday, June 4. Foutty will focus on the convergence of new technology, changing demographics, and shifting power dynamics in our society. Jobs are changing — and so is the relationship between employer and employee. Foutty will discuss how businesses can lead the redesign of work, the workforce, and the workplace for their own organizations; as well as what companies need to be thinking about in terms of leadership, talent, skills, and technology to keep pace with the exponential change in how we work.

"Society demands more of organizations than ever before, asking for business leaders to take an even larger, more influential role in shaping our connected and mutually-dependent ecosystem," said Foutty. "The pace of demographic, technological and social change is forcing organizations to reimagine how work gets done and what types of skills are needed in order to adapt and have greater success of sustaining long-term growth."

Elizabeth Bramson-Boudreau, CEO and publisher of MIT Technology Review, said, "We're pleased to have Janet Foutty hostig this important discussion. Deloitte is doing vital work to help businesses transform and adapt to new technologies and innovations. The topics Janet will explore are critical to the community of business leaders, innovators, early adopters, entrepreneurs and investors slated to attend EmTech Next this June."
