CluedUp The lifelong-learning conference

The future has no curriculum.
We’re learning at the edge of knowing.

CluedUp is South Africa’s first conference dedicated to lifelong learning and talent innovation.

Who will be there?

34% of CEOs are “extremely concerned” that availability of key skills will hamper their company’s growth, placing the issue 3rd in their top 10 threats.

What we’ll learn about

The ability to learn faster than your competitors may be the only sustainable competitive advantage.

Arie de Geus, Head of Shell’s Strategic Planning Group

How do we:

  • Make workers and citizens future-fit?
  • Create job-ready young people out of a broken education system?
  • Develop talent pipelines that will increase our competitiveness?
  • Incentivise a learning culture in our organisations?
  • Retain employees with growth mindsets?
  • Reskill aging workforces?
  • Engage and educate customers?
  • Stay relevant ourselves?

All CluedUp presenters are doers. They present ‘action studies’, so that delegates get practical insights about cutting-edge projects tackling:

  • Productive gamification
  • Scaffolding for leadership development
  • Proxies for potential
  • Teaming humans with AI
  • Teaching coding to youth who have failed maths

… and other exciting experiments

Not your typical conference

A self that goes on changing is a self that goes on living.

Virginia Woolf
