Jasmin Lauwaert - Ivago Today everyone has waste, some little to none, others a whole mess. The city of tomorrow must be climate neutral and circular. With that as a starting point, will there still be waste? Or will everything last forever? IVAGO takes you to the situation today and the near future to take a look at that distant future and what possibilities there may be.

Lore Demedts - Artevelde University As responsible for educational development within the education policy department, I try to contribute as best as possible to the continuous improvement of the educational landscape by supporting teachers (teams) and developing bridges between practice and policy. In addition, in my role as Bologna Expert (for DAAD), I contribute to the further realization of the Bologna implementation in a peer-support manner. I have recently been appointed chairman of the scientific committee of Leerpunt in Flanders, where our goal is to make evidence-informed sources available for nursery, primary and secondary education. With these responsibilities, I hope to inspire students to strive for things that work within higher education, in order to continue to improve quality.
Kris Seyen - De Juristen Can we imagine a computer system that replaces a judge? A few decades ago, this would have been a wild idea. Only a few years ago, it would have been considered unrealistic. And today? Does the giant leap forward in generative AI have any useful meaning in the legal world? After the old "deus ex machina", can we soon talk about "justitia ex machina"?
Asimov Team - Arteveldehogeschool This session is a technical session to allow the team members of each "architectural firm for the future" to publish their cross-media vision of the future on this website.
Art thinking (Withaker, 2016 &Robbins, 2018 & Bureau, 2019). is a method for thinking disruptively about certain problems. The focus here is not yet on the user or the person as such, but rather on the problem. It allows you to think freely without limitations. In later phases we combine this with design thinking where the user or citizen DOES come into the picture and we look at the opportunities and obstacles of a possible solution where people are central. In this lecture we will go over this method with concrete examples.
Bart Calis - Teacher/Researcher - Arteveldehogeschool How will you do your shopping in 2084? Will a physical supermarket still exist? To be honest, we don't know. However, there are several trends and emerging technologies that will completely change the shopping experience in the coming years. You think of user interface, automation and digitalization, but sustainability and the rediscovery of tactile and physical social contacts also become important.

Hans Moors - Deputy Chief of Police - Innovation Manager - Ghent Police Do we still need police in the future? Shouldn't we just predict crime, track the perpetrator via chip and high-performance camera systems and punish them remotely? Will Artificial Intelligence dominate police work? Or is the police PEOPLE becoming more important than ever?

Carmell & Hudson Marchino - Elevate With Us - Imagine a future that wasn't prescribed. What if you could create an education without typical societal constructs, familial expectations, or a one-size-fits-all perspective? Do you think that may change our current leadership norms in society? Might that shift the nature of relationship, of social capital, our economy? Consider investing in your futures by shattering tried and false patterns. Join Carmell and Hudson Marchino, a maverick mom and son duo, and hear them tell their story of life and education outside of the box. Carmell, Hudson's mom and a National Geographic Educator, made the decision to worldschool Hudson and create an innovative learning method rooted in cultural intelligence, emotional intelligence, and neuroscience. She is a keynote speaker rallying humanity to remember their own intrinsic value. Their collaborative and radical learning method allowed Hudson to enter college at age 13. Now 17, and a junior in university, Hudson continues to direct his own learning path and create his own future on his terms. Hudson is an advanced scuba diver, animal rescuer and lifelong foodie.
