Futurum Tech Webcast

On this episode of Futurum Live! From the Show Floor, I am joined by SHARE President, Scott Fagen, during the SHARE conference in New Orleans. We discussed the organization's efforts to evolve its offerings by introducing individual memberships and an expanded digital platform. Fagen revealed that there is pent-up international demand for SHARE's content, prompting the creation of a learning management system for year-round access to educational material. He clarified that new features would only be available to individual members, and they're offering significant registration rate discounts for these members for future conferences.

• International Reach: SHARE identified a global audience interested in their content, including a substantial number of people from Asia and Australia.

• Digital Transformation: The organization is developing a learning management system to make educational content and expert interactions accessible year-round.

• Membership Model: SHARE is shifting towards individual memberships, which will exclusively provide access to the new digital features.

• Conference Highlights: Fagen mentioned that IBM's announcement of ZOS 3.1 and the incorporation of AI were key topics at the event, with plans for future conferences in Orlando and Kansas City.
