Timeless Talent - Bridging the Generational Gap

Description: Speakers: Joe Brace, Phetogo Legoabe, Gillie Fairbrother, Gowthami Kothapalli, Melissa Muchema and Reece Gordon This session challenges one of the most persistent and often unspoken barriers in the workplace: Age stigma. In a world of rapid change, particularly with the rise of AI and new technologies, there is a growing narrative that: Younger colleagues are more adaptable and digitally fluent More experienced colleagues are less open to change. The reality is far more complex - and far more interesting. This panel will explore how we move beyond stereotypes and instead create an environment where everyone can progress, contribute and thrive, regardless of age or career stage. Our focus is simple: Turning the AI divide into a shared opportunity Building a common floor, not a widening gap
