PAPA'S TIME MACHINE is a highly poetic, inspiring and unconventional play that ingeniously integrates puppet show, life performance with contemporary installation art, video art and live music.
The story is based on the interaction between the artist and his father and made possible through the artist's dedication, determination, wild imagination and splendid collaboration from artists from Hungary and Germany. It took the whole team two years to make over 1,000 components and parts for the life-size puppets. Each adventurous time journey in the play marked a chance to re-experience life and memory, bringing audience with novel visual experience and reminding them of the touching stories between them and their own parents.

Plenary Session: AI and Future of Business
Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a critical area of interest in the business world, with experts predicting that it will significantly influence the future of business. The transformational impact of AI on the operational and competitive landscape of businesses through cost reduction, efficiency enhancement, and accuracy improvement has been widely acknowledged. Moreover, AI algorithms are enabling companies to provide personalized offerings to customers by analyzing their data and behaviour. However, this development raises ethical concerns that demand attention. As business educators, it is our responsibility to prepare students for a future in which AI will play a prominent role. This task involves designing new programs and courses that emphasize AI and related technologies, as well as equipping students with critical thinking and problem-solving skills that will be essential in an AI-driven workplace. Overall, AI is poised to revolutionize the way businesses operate in the future. Therefore, we must adapt our business education to facilitate our students and their businesses to achieve excellence in the new era of AI, while also considering ethical, equitable, and sustainable issues.
