【Talk Idea 1: Future, difficult to talk.】
Theme: Life
In this talk, the speakers will make further explanations of the "community economy" of the industries they are in. In recent years, almost everyone has been participating in some type of online community. Almost everyone has a life online, which has been completely rooted in the nature of modern people. Therefore, there is a group of people who take advantage of the online activeness to create business opportunities in the virtual world. Social media is not just a place to make friends, you can also make profits. What kind of hard work is hidden behind such a huge economic sector? We hope that the audience can get a glimpse of what is underneath the bright surface, including the creative thinking process, the way of operation, management, and budget expenses. If possible, we also hope that the speaker can share their ways of coping with frustration, such as the changes made to the original plans when the performance cannot be achieved.
This is a new generation. The development of the virtual community economy has led to great job opportunities. Most of our target customers are students, the speeches are for them to understand the relevance and possibilities of the industry and their future careers, further increasing their competitiveness. The speakers will mention many difficulties at the same time. This is also a lot of reference for the listeners who would want to enter this industry. In short, I hope that audiences can understand the advantages and disadvantages of the social media economy, and then find the most suitable positions for them and let themselves play a role in the market that can best fulfill their values.
In order to successfully hold this talk, we expect to find a speaker from a social media marketing agency. This speaker has relevant experiences in the community economy. For example, the speaker has cooperated with many different enterprises in community software to bring successful marketing to the goods provided by enterprises and achieve expected performance. This includes many work projects, such as signing contracts, commodity shooting, creative marketing planning ideas, etc. Therefore, our speaker may be the operator from one of the communities, and preferably the person in charge of the community.

【Talk idea 2: Future, can talk?】
Theme: Humanities
The second thing we want to discuss is "the importance of humanities". In Taiwan, we found out that since the beginning of the era of science and technology, many literary-related things have been disliked or ridiculed. For example, it is meaningless to have no job and attend lectures after studying humanities, but is this the case? Machine-Learning or the development of artificial intelligence, these technologies widely used on various machines are also imitating human habits or behaviors. We believe that the humanities are the key to making machines human, such as self-service checkout machines, self-driving, etc.
The humanities is a valuable field in the future. When everyone feels useless, "things are precious", and the value of humanities will gradually appear. Speakers may share their unique experiences, such as writing, painting and design, so as to explain to audiences the purpose of the humanities department: training, thinking, judgment and persuading. We hope that through the speaker's speech, audiences can rethink the definition of humanities and the true value of humanities.
Nowadays, science and technology are so developed, and many new technologies such as “Artificial Intelligence” and “Big Data” have emerged one after another. In the future, it will be a new era full of science and technology, and the value of humanities can sometimes be overlooked in such an era. We believe that the importance of humanities is absolutely no less than science. As mentioned above, most of our target audiences are students, and we have noticed that there have been many voices against humanities among our peers. Considering that audiences may have more extreme ideas about humanities, we firmly believe that sharing many relevant experiences related to writing and creative ideas will let the audience see the potential development of various humanities fields and expand their own vision.
It is planned to find our target speaker from literary and art creators, or a PM of a technology company. Those who can put forward specific views, ideas and experiences for the gains in the humanities, such as the gains obtained, the value sharing brought about by artistic creation, etc. Those who can provide practical suggestions without stingy sharing are all our target spokespersons.

【Talk idea 3: Future, easy talk!】
Theme: Tech
The last sub-topic is the future of mankind, the plasticity of science and technology. Over time, more and more unexpected ideas have been created by human beings, such as unmanned driving, virtual reality, etc., which are hot topics in recent years. Here, we also discuss some business topics. Unlike the above-mentioned community economy, we realize that in the near future, the virtual aspect of the world will become more and more prevalent that even currencies become virtual. NFT is one of its applications. In the near future, there will be various commercial possibilities for everyone, so we don't think this is negligible. Therefore, we plan for the takeaway of this talk to be how to create personalised opportunities in the future era, such as art investment, to create a win-win situation with innovative technology.
We are the Generation Z, which is a generation that lives with the advanced applications of science and technology and are born with the use of the internet. Therefore, we can't escape the coming era of the "virtual world" in the future. Since most of the audience are students, we believe that it is important to share the concept of "we can adapt the virtual world with our existent skills,” which can help and encourage the audience to move forward with the future trend, find their own way, and fulfill their own values.
In order to successfully achieve the goal of this talk, we will focus on organizations, groups, or enterprises that have relevant research on the virtual world in the science and technology industry, where the speaker is not only familiar with the knowledge and operation of science and technology, but also has a long-head on its development. The target speaker candidate will be an insightful speaker who can explain this trend in detail. The speaker is not limited to the founders and leaders of target organizations, groups and enterprises, including technicians and CTO, which are our choice goals.

【Some ideas】
-Due to the continuous outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic and the Monkeypox epidemic that may rise at any time in the future, more and more people stay at home to reduce contact with people when going out. For this group of people, how we should find business opportunities in them is also a topic that we are also quite interested in. Collecting the relevant experience of network e-commerce platform operators, we can better understand the current situation in this and what the possibilities we can create in the future. At the same time, in line with the development of the virtual world, the creation, such as the possibility of purchasing goods, trying on clothes and other technologies in the virtual world. This view may also appear in the theme of the talk.
-Another topic of interest is “Global Climate Warming”. It explores the sustainable issue of taking into account the environment while developing science and technology in the future. Although many scientists are studying the possibility of all human beings migrating to other planets, what we have to face now is the problem of climate change. How to achieve a win-win situation in scientific and technological development and climate change is one of the topics we want to explore. Nowadays, there are more environmental protection groups that provide various ways to reduce carbon reduction methods such as resource recovery and transportation, but the impact of climate change is still getting more and more serious. “What can be done?” This is what we want to explore, and the topic of environmental protection will also appear in our talk in due course.
