About This Event

Tech Week can be chaotic. The Oasis is a daily retreat: a place to belong, breathe, and actually co-create.

Day 2 sits with one of the most consequential questions of this moment: what happens to work as AI and automation accelerate? If technology continues to absorb the things we used to do for a paycheck, what gets freed up — and what do we choose to do with it?

We'll explore the shift from working out of need to creating out of passion, the new shapes careers and companies might take, and what it means to build a life that holds up when the old scripts no longer apply. Expect honest conversation about both the opportunity and the uncertainty.
