YOUTH TECH FORUM
Niels Brock
Tech Day
900+ students · Copenhagen · 2025
Six months in the making.
I co-organized the first Niels Brock Tech Day with Youth Tech Forum. Half a year of planning came together in a full-day conference about technology’s impact on the future of work.
More than 900 students joined us to explore AI, automation, and the role of education in a digital future. We wanted to create room for inspiration, different perspectives, and a proper conversation about the changes ahead.
The day opened with a career fair, where students met the event’s partners. The keynotes and panel debates that followed featured speakers from industry, government, and academia.
