Visionary Day
Visionary Day is the new reference event for the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland in experience format, dedicated to the themes of technological innovation that project us into the future on a daily basis, divided into three special moments: Visionary Day: a day of paid visionary speeches , Visionary Expo: a free exhibition area for everyone from 9.00 a.m. to 5.30 p.m., and finally Visionary Teen: an evening dedicated to the new generations from 8.00 p.m. onwards.
01. Open to everyone
This event is thought out not only exclusively for the experts in the field but also for those who “have heard about” new technologies and want to get a more concrete and precise idea of what it means and what developments will bring in tomorrow’s everyday life.
02. All-embracing topics
The chosen topics address not only business life but also everyday themes from health to the health system, education, culture and in general all areas of our life affected by the digital transformation.
03. Visionary Speech
Through testimonials from experts working with new technologies and through a large exhibition area you will be able to observe, experience up close and try for yourself the new technologies of the future through an interactive and engaging Visionary Tour.
04. Visionary Teen
From Baby Boomers to Centennials: Comparing Generations.
At the end of the Visionary Day, starting at 8:00 PM, there will be an evening of intergenerational confrontation.
The particular format foresees that the Centennials, such as the young people born at the turn of the new millennium, will actively participate in the evening through an open debate with the other Generations around those themes that can be considered most divisive such as: work, use of technology, values, future, time, relationships.
Different points of view, ways of thinking, stereotypes and prejudices will be compared.
All this will be enhanced by multimedia contributions and questions from the public that will contribute to enrich and stimulate the debate.
05. VISIONARY EXPO (Free Exhibition Area)
The Visionary Day includes not only the opinion of illustrious and visionary speakers but also a large exhibition area where, anyone interested, can see and TEST the most interesting innovations of technology for FREE: virtual reality viewers, holograms, augmented reality, driving simulators, projects and tools of the medicine of the future, applications to everyday life and to various industries.
Let’s not forget about the new generations: for the children there will be activities of coding and robotics thanks to the contributions of Valeria Cagnina and Paola Mattioli, two people who for years have made education to the new generations one of their excellences.
Who is this event addressed to?
The speakers and their testimonials are chosen based on their capacity to simplify even the most complex aspects of new technologies.
During the Visionary Day even non-experts who are simply interested in themes regarding innovation for the first time will find an answer to the question “how will new technologies change the world and our way of living?”
