-How will our workplaces need to change in response to developments in tech?

-Is there a danger of a "digital brain drain" if non-profits cannot offer appealing opportunities for tech-savvy young professionals?

-Can new technologies benefit small organisations as well as larger ones?

-What role can charities play in the design of new technology to ensure it is human-centred?

-Should charities be concerned about the mental health and social impacts of social media and other tech tools?

-Can charities play a wider role in addressing the negative impact of technology?

-Why should the non-profit world wake up to AI?
