Digitally Transforming Portugal

Economy, Education & Innovation

About

Building The Future is where technology, leadership and education meet to empower people, organizations through a 100% digital experience.

Where you’ll find world-class experts that are changing the way we interact with reality. And where you’ll be able to learn from them with hands-on sessions and outstanding use cases.

Since its first edition, Building the Future established itself as Portugal’s greatest digital transformation event, returning in 2021 to build the vision, the strategy, the foundations and the code necessary to create the future. In this edition, we will also have a full dedicate day to highlighting the importance of education as an economy booster in the digital era.

Digital transformation is happening right now at an incredible pace and it’s impossible not to embrace it.

Building the Future is the place where experts around the world meet, helping us understand how technology is constantly redefining human progress. In the 2020 edition, speakers such as the innovative Laila Pawlak, the “Geek in Disguise” Steve Clayton and the technology entrepreneur John Straw shared their inspiring vision, giving us essential tools that will help us keep building the future.

Get to know the current trends and build the vision for a collective future.

If you think your company is already digitally transformed and making the most of it, think again.

At Building the Future we go beyond concepts: we’ll show you, in concrete and tangible ways, the gains new technologies will bring to your business and to our education system.

Learn from anywhere with the visionary leaders and innovative case studies on how to have a holistic approach to sustainability, how to build trust under attack or how to develop the right skill set to new tech careers.

Get ready to boost your company’s productivity, creating new products and services and reshaping the way they collaborate , work and learn.

In a world where all businesses are technological, you don’t need to be a heavy user or developer to understand how it impacts the world we live in.

It’s vital to empower all those who deal with technology on a daily basis to subjects such Data, Trust and Sustainability so they can make a difference.

Once we strongly believe in democratising technology, the content offered during the event will allow the participants to fully emerge into what a technological business and education are and to be up to date with technological innovation.

Go deeper. Move forward. Code!

Whether you are a DevOps, an IT Pro, a Maker or you’re just getting started with javascript, in our hands-on sessions, we’ll give you the skills to build the future.

Take advantage of the unique contents created for our education target, where students and teachers will be able to learn more about their careers and prepare themselves to face the challenges of the future by developing new tech skills.

Interact with the technology you love, watch live demos, learn from experts and make a difference.
