Paul Miller, CEO and Founder of Digital Workplace Group, says: “For me, I adore hosting chucks of this “festival, extravaganza, marathon, journey” and acting as Executive Producer, because this is the internet at its very best: bringing people together in real time who could never be together physically; treading lightly on the planet; bringing a sense of the “true face of the digital workplace”; engaging a new younger audience for this growing digital workplace industry; having huge fun with music; showcasing wild card guests; and, overall, helping people both to learn and have a great time.”

Rita Zonius, Director of The Enterprise Social Engineer is one of the hosts: “I’m so thrilled to be the Australian host of DW24. There’s no better way to get ideas on how to change the way you work than to learn lessons from those who have gone before you. This 24-hour, online event is a binge-fest for those who want to immerse themselves in some of the world’s best digital workplaces.”
