Paradox Panel

A live, rotating discussion where our Platinum Partners take the stage to debate this year’s most relevant digital dilemmas.

A live, rotating discussion

During the lunch break, head to Lillesal and grab a seat for this year’s side event: the Paradox Panel. This is a live, rotating discussion where our Platinum Partners take the stage to debate some of this year’s most relevant digital dilemmas.

The format is fast-moving and unscripted. Four participants sit in chairs while three stand behind. Only those seated can speak, and as the conversation shifts, so do the seats. A moderator guides the discussion through 2–3 digital paradoxes, keeping the energy up and the perspectives flowing. It’s the kind of conversation that’s genuinely interesting to watch unfold in real time.

The Paradox Panel is open to all attendees at no extra cost, and you’re welcome to bring your lunch. Seats are limited, so make sure you head over early.

📍 Lillesal · 🕒 11:40-12:15 (doors open at 11:15)

The Speed Paradox: When Going Faster Makes Us Fragile

At the core of this Paradox Panel is speed, and how it is increasingly structurally rewarded, while restraint is treated as overhead.

Across organizations and digital systems, speed has become a proxy for progress, control, and competitiveness. The paradox is that this same logic is quietly eroding our ability to think, learn, safeguard, and prevent harm. The panel explores this tension through two connected paradoxes that operate at different levels, but share the same root cause.

Paradox 1: Permanent acceleration

What does speed, as a structural incentive, do to our ability to think, learn and lead?

Paradox 2: Speed outpaces safeguards

What does this same logic unleash when it meets malicious intent and real-world harm?
