Czech Digital Week in Brno: The Labor Market in the Digital Age

November 19 | 09:00 – 12:00 UTC+1

The conference “The Labor Market in the Digital Age” is designed not only for students but also for start-ups and professionals. It focuses on the current challenges and opportunities brought about by digitalization and artificial intelligence, with a special emphasis on transformations in the labor market. Four expert speakers will cover a wide range of topics—from current labor market trends and shifts in recruitment practices to the skills that will be essential for the future.

A panel discussion will be included, allowing participants to join the debate. The event is moderated by Kristýna Bejčková.
