From ego hierarchy to the communities of the future [in Danish] — Emilia van Hauen, Sociologist, Speaker & Author keyboard_arrow_down
Bring the workplace together across generations, AI, and new ways of working
Community is more important than ever in a time and world in flux — also in the workplace. However, the traditional hierarchy can stand in the way of this. Especially at a time when younger generations, flatter structures, artificial intelligence, and new ways of working are challenging the conditions we have been used to.
Come and learn why the traditional hierarchy needs to be updated into a neo‑hierarchy — one that is rooted in relationships and community, without losing focus on results.

Erhvervscenterchef Peter Ostenfeldt kommer og holder et kort oplæg om, hvad der konkret virker i praksis, når virksomheder lykkes med at fastholde medarbejdere. Med afsæt i mere end 10 års erfaring giver han indsigt i, hvordan relation, tydelighed og faglig udvikling hænger sammen – og hvad der gør forskellen i hverdagen.

The New Consumer – From Transaction to Transformation [in Danish] — Trend Researcher at pej gruppen keyboard_arrow_down
The consumer has shifted. Not to a new trend, but to a new stage in the logic of consumption. Money is moving from things to transformation – from owning to becoming.
Based on pej gruppen’s new report on the transformation economy and Pine & Gilmore’s updated theory from 2026, the talk outlines the same fundamental movement across industries: travel, food, retail, health, and fashion. Everywhere, the same shift, the same logic – and the same demands on those who produce and sell.
For buyers and retailers, this has one clear consequence: what is placed on the shelf must not only be sellable; it must be able to justify an identity, create an experience, and support a transformation.
Gain insight into what this shift means for your category – and what it takes to be on the right side of it.
