Most recently, the series travelled to Dubai as part of the University of Manchester’s – Dubai’s 20th anniversary celebrations, where Professor Ken McPhail, Head of Alliance Manchester Business School explored Innovation and Leadership in the Age of AI – and how organisations can navigate change, innovate with confidence and lead with impact in an AI-driven world.
Set within a wider festival bringing together students, alumni, partners and entrepreneurs, the event blended thought leadership with community, creativity, and collaboration.
We’re proud to support a programme that champions global dialogue, innovation, and connection – values that continue to shape resilient, future-ready cities worldwide.
