June 18-20, 2018: Venice, Italy

The 5th Competitive Advantage in the Digital Economy (CADE) Forum is an exclusive three-day event, bringing together academics and practitioners to discuss the challenges of the digital economy and present the latest cutting edge research.

This year saw the CADE Forum enter its fifth year, held at the Palazzo Pesaro-Papafava, the University of Warwick’s location in Venice, Italy. Specifically, this year's Forum focused on personal data, smart service systems and digital transformation.

CADE's core objective is to facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations and to continue building a platform for the development of a common language for digital economy research. The Forum has already built a reputation for creating new synergies between research groups both at Warwick and other institutions, and emphasis will continue to be placed on this as well as developing collaborative opportunities between participants at CADE.

At CADE, emphasis is placed on discussion and collaboration, with plenty of time allocated to both your presentation, the subsequent discussion and additional time between parallel sessions and workshops for further in depth discussions with other participants.

Workshops & Keynote Speakers

For the first time this year, the CADE Forum ran four workshops related to the personal data economy:

• Workshop 1: Product Design in the Personal Data Economy (Led by Dr Andrius Aucinas)
• Workshop 2: Student Experience and Teaching (Led by Dr Albrecht Fritzsche)
• Workshop 3: Data-Driven Business Models (Led by Professor Irene Ng)
• Workshop 4: Behavioural Visibility in Data (BeVID)- Experiencing New Research Methods with Reality Mining

  (Led by Professor Roger Maull)

See the Workshops page for further details.
