RISEBA Conferences in 2024
FutureScape 2024 is a pioneering virtual conference that brings together esteemed professionals and academics from several countries. This event focuses on exploring sustainable development within societies through the lens of digital transformation, green economy challenges, AI in education, and labour market dynamics. Our keynote speakers and round-table experts will delve into these critical areas, offering insights and fostering cross-national dialogues.
Conference plan
Key Topic 1: Digital Transformation and Leadership for Sustainable Societies
This session explores how digital transformation is reshaping leadership paradigms in the pursuit of sustainable societies. Keynote speakers will discuss the evolving role of digital leadership, emphasizing the need for leaders to adapt to technological advancements while maintaining a focus on sustainable practices. The session will highlight successful case studies where digital leadership has facilitated significant societal changes.
Key Topic 2: Challenges in the Green Economy
This segment addresses the current challenges and issues within the green economy. Experts will present on the economic and environmental impacts of transitioning to green technologies, the role of policy in supporting green initiatives, and the hurdles faced in implementing sustainable practices. The session aims to comprehensively understand the green economy’s complexities and potential solutions.
Key Topic 3: AI’s Role in Shaping Education
The rapid adaptation of AI and the emergence of generative AI tools are revolutionizing the educational landscape. This session will cover how AI transforms teaching methodologies, personalises learning experiences, and prepares students for a technology-driven future. Discussions will also discuss the ethical challenges of integrating AI into educational systems.
Key Topic 4: Addressing Labour Market Challenges
The final session will focus on tackling labour market challenges, such as building sustainable human capital and utilizing AI to address skill mismatches. Speakers will share insights on innovative strategies for workforce development, the importance of continuous learning, and how AI tools can be effectively deployed to align skills with market needs. The session aims to provide actionable strategies for creating a more adaptable and skilled workforce.
Key Topic 5: Uncovering Needs of The Invisibles for Social Inclusion in the Digital Age
The final session will focus on uncovering vulnerable social groups that remain unnoticed in the official statistics but face high social and economic exclusion risks. Addressing the needs of these groups, usually referred to as The Invisibles by educators, NGOs, and policymakers, would contribute to building better and more inclusive societies through lifelong education. We will examine the findings of the research based on a novel methodology in the Baltics and its potential application beyond.
Round-Table Discussion
The conference will conclude with a round-table discussion, allowing participants to engage with the speakers, share their perspectives, and discuss collaborative opportunities.

LEADING TRANSFORMATIONS TOWARDS SUSTAINABILITY: HEADWINDS AND TAILWINDS
CONFERENCE FOCUS
The past five years have been rich with unexpected turns affecting almost every area of human activity globally. They have created new technological hypes and, simultaneously, led to reassessing the technologies and behavioral models viewed as promising.
However, in that era of profound and unexpected turmoil, the ability to carry out effective transformations, including absorbing the growing supply of digital technologies, has not become obsolete. Seeking to balance both the capacity for technological adaptation at the transnational and national levels and the strategic management of organisations based on a sustainable development approach remaining in sight.
These considerations require academic researchers in business and finance to detect necessary changes and to seek appropriate solutions to the current economic, political, social, and technological challenges while staying focused on principles and values crucial for long-term development.

Mārtiņš is also using his project management experience to organize sports and corporate events.
Did you know that we can regard every move in our life as a project? Going to the market, making pancakes – both of those things can be approached as a project.
