About the Forum

There are a multitude of reasons to be optimistic about the future; the third annual Rhodes Forum on Technology & Society will bring together visionaries from the realms of science, technology, arts, and social innovation to discuss ground-breaking developments that paint a hopeful picture of tomorrow.

Through a series of keynotes, panel talks, and interactive sessions, the Forum will delve into the profound impacts of technology on society, and empower participants to explore, debate, and forge pathways toward a future where technology enhances societal well-being and global sustainability.

Join us at Rhodes House, Oxford or online on 2 November to hear how:

  • cutting-edge technology can transform infrastructure and public spaces to create environments that are not only more efficient but also more inclusive and participatory.
  • rising life expectancy in wealthier nations impacts social systems such as healthcare and pensions, requiring significant shifts in workforce strategies and elder care solutions.
  • the rise of commercial activity in space can help equitably and sustainably manage and conserve Earth’s resources.
  • AI can be a tool to empower people to build more productive and meaningful lives, rather than a threat to livelihoods.

 

OSEFWe are thrilled to announce that the Rhodes Trust is partnering with the Saïd Business School to align the Oxford Saïd Entrepreneurship Forum (OSEF) as our sister conference this year. This collaboration brings together leading minds from both events to foster a richer exchange of ideas and innovations. Attendees who register for one conference will receive a 10% discount on registration for the other, enhancing their opportunity to engage with a broader community and gain deeper insights into the intersections of technology, society, and entrepreneurship.
