The Tech Imperative: Accelerating Asia’s Socio-Economic Recovery

At the onset of the pandemic, the leadership platform pivoted to the digital format, launching the ABLF Talks Virtual Conclaves in October 2020 at the cutting-edge virtual venue, ABLF City, developed with intuitive, interactive technology, simulating an in-person event environment.

From October 2021, the ABLF Talks were held at the Dubai Cares Pavilion at the Expo 2020 Dubai resulting in more streamlined engagement for in-person audiences as well as an exponentially larger reach online with an established virtual audience of over 30, 000 users.

The ABLF Talks brought together over 120 brilliant leaders from around the world in interactive, thought-provoking conversations under the overarching theme of ‘Innovative Strategies for a Decade of Challenges: Asia 2020-2030’ - discussions that are crucial to socio-economic recovery in a post-pandemic world.

To encapsulate the groundbreaking learnings that carry the voices and opinions of some Asia’s most dynamic and responsible leaders who were featured speakers on the ABLF Talks between 2020-2022, the ABLF will launch ‘The ABLF Talks Chronicled: Asia’s Great Reset’ in 2022.
