Transformative Technology, Transformative Talent
In the midst of the fourth industrial revolution, CIOs and CTOs hold the key roles managing corporate digital transformation and leveraging new, game-changing technologies. This edition of CNBC's @Work series examines the human-machine interface, how to balance the needs of today with the possibilities of tomorrow, and the winning strategies of best-in-class companies.
Who should attend: CIOs, CTOs and senior technology executives who have a major role to play in leveraging the right technologies at the right scale, with the right people running them.
9:00am - 11:30am
SOUND AND VISION AT DOLBY LABS
We'll spend our morning on an exclusive, interactive, behind-the-scenes tour of Dolby Laboratories. Attendees will get a peek inside the cutting-edge labs where researchers study how our minds process sound and images. Their goal: use neuroscience and sensory data science to help machines better understand their human users, create "empathetic technology" and change the way we work. We'll also learn how Dolby's helping make music, TV, movies and video games ever more immersive experiences, through partnerships with leading artists, and companies like Netflix, Apple and Amazon.
Host: Poppy Crum, PhD, Chief Scientist, Dolby Laboratories; Adjunct Professor, Stanford University

Leadership @Work: Managing A Multi-Billion Dollar Digital Transformation
Kaiser Permanente employs hundreds of thousands and treats millions. As they prepare to move to their headquarters to the Bay Area, they're also in the midst of a massive, and massively complicated, digital transformation. We'll ask chairman and CEO Bernard Tyson how his workforce will need to change to adapt to and leverage new technologies.
* Bernard J. Tyson, Chairman and CEO, Kaiser Permanente
* Interviewer: Jon Fortt, Co-anchor, "Squawk Alley," CNBC
Happiness @Work: How Satisfied Is the Workforce, Really?
How happy are your employees in their jobs? What are their hopes for (and fears about) the future? We present the latest data from our Workplace Happiness Survey, in partnership with SurveyMonkey.
* Presenter: Jon Cohen, Chief Research Officer, SurveyMonkey
* Moderator: Tyler Mathisen, Co-anchor, "Power Lunch;" Vice President, Events Strategy, CNBC
Talent @Work: Evolving Technology, Evolving Workforce
Transformative new technologies require transformed teams. How can organizations develop a dynamic and nimble workforce that can not only adapt to but also leverage and drive and leverage constant disruptive innovation? We'll ask the man referred to as The Godfather of Data Analytics.
* Jim Goodnight, Co-founder and CEO, SAS
* Interviewer: Deirdre Bosa, Technology Reporter, CNBC
Justice @Work: San Quentin to Silicon Valley
By 2020 a million tech jobs in the U.S. will go unfilled. But one organization is finding new workers in unlikely places: prisons. Is teaching convicts to code part of the answer to address a shortage that threatens to slow future industry growth?
* Kenyatta Leal, Founding Member and Returned Citizen, The Last Mile
* Chris Redlitz, Managing Partner, Transmedia Capital; Founder, The Last Mile
* Interviewer: Tyler Mathisen, Co-anchor, "Power Lunch;" Vice President, Events Strategy, CNBC
Networking Break
Data @Work: Separating the Signal from the Noise
Talking artificial intelligence and machine learning is one thing. But for many companies, true AI and ML is still more about potential rather than practical application. We'll talk to two leaders who are helping organizations get their data out of narrow silos and into the hands of more employees and consumers.
* Frank Slootman, Chairman and CEO, Snowflake
* Glen Tullman, Founder and Chairman, Livongo
* Interviewer: Jon Fortt, Co-anchor, "Squawk Alley," CNBC
Mission @Work: Making Tech Great Again
Walkouts, privacy scandals, ethically dubious business deals, bloated valuations and bro-culture. Suffice it to say that the tech industry has suffered some bad PR lately. With the threat of regulation looming and a restive workforce, how does the tech industry regain its reputation as a beacon for how great work gets done.
* Jennifer Fonstad, Managing Director, Owl Capital Group
* Jessica Powell, Author, "The Big Disruption;" Fmr VP of Communications, Google
Interviewer: To be announced
Security @Work: Insider Threats and How to Spot Them
We know about cyberthreats coming from abroad, whether they be nation-states or organized criminals. But as recent events have proved, sometimes the threat is as close as the next cubicle over. How should organizations balance the need to provide more access to more people, with the possibility that one person can create havoc? How is that person identified before it's too late, and how is any possible damage mitigated?
Presentation:
Sanjay Virmani, Assistant Special Agent in Charge of Cyber, Federal Bureau of Investigation
Discussion:
* Sue Gordon, Fmr Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence, Office of the Director of National Intelligence
* Matt Olsen, Chief Trust and Security Officer, Uber; Fmr Director, National Counterterrorism Center
* Interviewer: Suzanne Kelly, CEO and Publisher, The Cipher Brief
Productivity @Work: Does Better Tech Equal Better Work?
We have better and better tools, but the expected corresponding productivity gains have not been realized. In fact, many feel that the myriad powerful technologies we use every day only makes our working lives more difficult. What's gone wrong, and how do we fix it?
Drew Houston, Co-founder and CEO, Dropbox
