We are proud to be Gold Sponsors of the Thinking Digital Conference 2026.
Held at the iconic Glasshouse International Centre for Music in Gateshead, the event brings together over 500 leaders, innovators and technologists from across the North East.
Thinking Digital is known for practical insight and open conversation. It creates space to explore how technology shapes business, society and everyday life.
Our team will be exhibiting at the conference and will also host an interactive workshop, designed to help you explore how future AI scenarios can shape decisions today.
Join us to connect with peers, share ideas and explore how to turn emerging thinking into real outcomes.
Join our TDC workshop: AI 2035
AI 2035: Looking into the future to shape strategy today
Date: 21 May, 2026
Time: 45-minute session during Conference lunch break
What does a General AI future mean for your organisation?
In this interactive session, we explore a 2035 scenario and what it could mean for clients, our people and business models. Together, we run a rapid implications analysis to test assumptions and challenge current thinking.
The session focuses on practical outcomes. It helps you:
- Make sense of fast-moving change
- Strengthen strategic decision making
- Identify actions you can take today
This is not about predicting the future. It is about using structured futures thinking to make better decisions now.
