The top 5 things you can learn at Campus Party Singapore

14
Jun 2018

One thing that makes Campus Party unique is the unparalleled learning opportunity it offers—it’s an all-in-one opportunity to exchange ideas with fellow attendees, pick up new skills at hands-on workshops, and listen to presentations by some of the brightest minds in tech and innovations.

Here are five of the most cutting-edge topics you can brush up on at Campus Party Singapore:

  1. Blockchain
    It has been hailed as the next big economic opportunity, the solution to data security challenges, and a tool that can eliminate unethical practices from business supply chains—but what exactly is blockchain? Speakers such as Kenneth Bok, founder of blockchain research platform Blocks, will be conducting sessions on the technology and its potentially world-changing applications at Campus Party Singapore.
  2. Social entrepreneurship
    The business world is waking up to the fact that there is more to running a company than just making money—as the new mantra of the corporate world goes, “doing good is good business”. How did today’s leading social entrepreneurs set up companies that are lucrative but also do good for people and the planet? Leaders in this space, from Citizen Farm head Darren Ho to Hush TeaBar founder Anthea Ong to DBS Bank’s chief innovation officer Neal Cross will be sharing their strategies for success.
  3. Artificial Intelligence
    When we teach machines to perform the technological processes that are crucial to society but may be too complex, time-consuming or dangerous for humans, what new possibilities—and challenges—does this present? Join AI entrepreneur Annabelle Kwok to explore these issues and get answers to the AI questions you never knew you had: What do AI and boobs have in common, and can AI tell your fortune based on your facial features?
  4. Future of media
    From ‘fake news’ to the 24/7 news cycle to new storytelling formats made possible by digital technology, the global media landscape is changing, and it’s changing fast. Which media models will thrive and which ones will be left behind? How does one cut through an increasingly saturated market? Hear from industry experts such as Tinkle International business director Alvaro Quesada, Tribal Worldwide president Jeff Cheong and Vision Strategy Storytelling founder Jacqui Hocking on the future of media.
  1. Multidisciplinary magic
    Whether you’re a tech, arts, or business expert, stepping out of your comfort zone and exploring new disciplines always leads to new ways of thinking and insights. Delve into the various multidisciplinary experiences at Campus Party, including an exploration of cyberculture with Kevin Lim, the deputy director of  National Gallery Singapore’s Co:Lab X programme and an illuminating workshop on Southeast Asian archaeology by ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute’s Dr D Kyle Latinis.

And lastly, because it’s not a good party without good music, see some of today’s leading Singaporean and international musical experts in action. There’s Indian tabla maestro Zakir Hussain, multi-talented Singaporean singer and guitarist Randolf Arriola, and The Ukulele Assemble of Singapore’s Rex Lee, who not only plays the string instrument, but also unusual instruments like the theremin.
