    The prevailing discussions around AI are filled with optimism, showcasing a future of unprecedented opportunities for growth, innovation, and inclusion. But what if this future does not materialize for all? Despite rapid technological advances, billions remain disconnected, and young people, especially in underserved communities, risk being left behind. This Partner2Connect (P2C) interactive workshop aims to challenge conventional thinking and foster open, off-the-record dialogue. Through P2C’s convening power, we are creating a safe, pre-competitive space where stakeholders from all sectors can come together, identify shared challenges, and build meaningful partnerships. Everyone in this room is here because you are already committed to digital inclusion. The aim of this workshop is to leverage those common values and help amplify your pledges through new partnerships and collaboration. The format is simple and dynamic: grab a coffee, join one of the tables led by a discussion leader, and engage in an honest, creative post-mortem exercise, imagining what could go wrong if we fail to close the digital divide, and, more importantly, how we can act now to avoid that future.

    Key Questions: 

    • It’s 2035 — AI changed everything, but not for everyone. The digital divide has never been wider, human rights monitoring has vanished, jobs are precarious and underpaid, services are more expensive than ever. The wealthy have never lived longer; the poor never shorter. How did we let this happen? What warning signs did we ignore?
    • What are the actions we must take now to avoid this dystopian outcome?
    • Which challenges identified at your table will truly require collaboration across sectors?
    • After this event, which two partnership opportunities will your table commit to following up on?
