Spark Lab to explore a future of robots and more


Spark Lab to explore a future of robots, virtual reality and more

Today’s newest technology, and that of the future, will be the subject of Spark Lab’s ‘Tools and Tech Month’ throughout July, as industry leaders gather to discuss the implications and opportunities for New Zealand businesses in today’s digital landscape.

Head of business marketing for Spark, Richard Sandford, says the series of free talks will be both inspirational and eye-opening, as well as practical and applicable:
“Increasingly, our customers are asking what technology they should be thinking about and using to help their business grow and make their lives a whole lot easier. This next series at Spark Lab will give businesses an insight into what digital tools they can use today as well as a view on what’s coming in the future so they can stay ahead in the marketplace.”

The line-up for Tools and Tech Month includes Vend founder Vaughan Rowsell, who’ll be speaking about the coming ‘golden age of technology’, an era of sensors, artificial intelligence and robots. Immersify’s Brendon King will tackle virtual reality, looking at business applications and uses. Shona Grundy from Ora 10 Ltd will share her top 10 business apps, while Simone Iles from APD (Asia Pacific Digital) will share from her experience on how New Zealand business people can make better digital decisions in the near future.
The sessions are open to everyone and free to attend, although spaces are limited. A number of sessions will be live-streamed on Facebook and videos from all of the events will be available online, so that businesses around New Zealand can benefit from what’s shared. Those interested can go to sparklabseries.co.nz to find out more or to register their attendance.
