After sharing the achievements of the CDIA winners, guests had a coffee break while they made their way to the "Digital 20/20: The Future is You!" (Part 1) event in the Conference Hall.

The coffee break in the Conference Hall had an art display created by Rockefeller Jr .and New York Chinese artist Caojun. They will host a virtual art exhibition here in November.

She shared her story about how the pandemic affected her work and how she reinvented her work and company to adapt to the new normal. She also shared 5 Business Best Practices during Covid Crisis she learned from an inspiring Zoom chat with Simon Sinek, author and guest on TED talks.

Teach others what you are learning. (Teach it to someone else, and you've really learned it.)
Get to your desk before 8:30 am. Get something done before 9.
Don't get it perfect, get it done. Think fast, cheap, agile.
Do quick "Zoom scrums" where you check in with team members: 15 minutes or less.
Spend 10% of your time helping others.

Up to now, her company has trained over 189 students to learn how to use online and virtual immersive tech such as VirBELA. She believes the world of AI, VR, Robotics and digital marketing will drive the next wave of innovation and help us all to reinvent, hence the tagline "The Future is You".
