ICSB Chief Operations Officer Skye Blanks to Speak at Seoul's Digital Education for Digital Transformation Summit
From June 15th through 17th, Seoul becomes the epicenter of innovation as educators, policymakers, and industry leaders from across Asia converge to discuss strategies for integrating advanced digital tools-such as AI, blockchain, and cybersecurity-into teaching, training, and professional development.
With traditional career paths crumbling and new opportunities emerging daily, timing has never been more critical for professionals looking to stay ahead of the curve.
As Chief Operations Officer of ICSB, Blanks brings unparalleled expertise and global perspective to the conference with his workshop on how digital technologies are creating unprecedented opportunities for young entrepreneurs worldwide. His session promises to cut through the noise and deliver practical strategies that participants can implement immediately. We're talking real tools for building businesses that actually work in today's economy.
What sets this apart from typical business conferences is the focus on actionable outcomes. Blanks will walk attendees through the process of starting and scaling businesses in the digital space, covering everything from leveraging the right online tools to navigating complex digital markets. More importantly, he'll share insights on building business models that can weather any storm.
The workshop couldn't come at a better time. Recent research shows that most of the jobs our kids will have don't even exist yet. Companies across Asia are scrambling to figure out what skills their teams actually need, and many are looking to events like this for answers.
But Blanks isn't stopping there. He's also joining forces with other regional innovators for a panel discussion that's generating serious buzz. "Essential Digital Skills for the Workforce of Tomorrow" brings together some of the sharpest minds in Asia to tackle a question that's keeping executives awake at night: what skills do young professionals really need to succeed?
This panel dives deep into digital fluency, covering everything from data literacy to personal branding. The conversation promises to be eye opening, especially for anyone who thinks they can coast on traditional skills much longer. Blanks is joined on the panel by Yousun Do, Director, Nuleep, Sagar Sojitra, CEO, STEMbotix Pvt Ltd, and Sharon Wu, Senior Manager, AIT American Spaces. These are speakers who aren't just talking theory but they are people who've built successful careers and companies in the digital space.
For young entrepreneurs, this represents a rare chance to learn directly from someone who understands their challenges. Starting a business has never been easier in some ways, but it's also never been more complex. The digital landscape changes almost daily, and having the right guidance can mean the difference between success and spinning your wheels for years.
This forum will establish itself as the premier gathering for professionals who refuse to be left behind by digital transformation. Past attendees consistently report that the insights gained fundamentally changed how they approach their careers and businesses.
What makes this particularly valuable is the focus on practical application. Too many conferences leave you inspired but without clear next steps. This event is designed differently, with speakers like Blanks committed to giving participants tools they can use immediately.
With only days remaining before the conference begins, industry veterans know that waiting usually means missing out. The combination of world class speakers, cutting edge content, and networking opportunities with Asia's most innovative professionals creates an environment where career defining connections happen naturally.

Councils given four bin guidelines to end ‘wild west' recycling policies
Households could be issued up to four bins to separate waste as part of new guidance given to local councils in a bid to streamline recycling practices. Under the new plan, local authorities will be told to give residents and workplaces four containers including a non-recyclable waste bin, a food and green waste container, a bin or bag for paper and cardboard and a bin for other recyclables. Under current legislation, some households are required to separate waste into seven bins. The four containers may be bins, bags or stackable boxes. Current legislation introduced in 2021 defined recycling as glass, plastic, food waste, paper and card, resulting in some authorities issuing individual bins for each The new rules will come into place for business recyclable waste collection from March 31 next year and one year later for residential households. Environment Secretary Steve Reed said communities have faced an 'avalanche of rubbish' in streets, rivers and seas. 'Today we end the Conservative fiasco that would force households across the country to have seven bins,' he said. 'This Labour Government is ending the Wild West and introducing a streamlined approach to recycling to end to the postcode lottery, simplify bin collections and clean up our streets for good.' The new guidance also revealed from March 31 2026, all waste authorities should be providing weekly food waste collections from households to allow people to 'dispose of odorous organic waste frequently'. Household recycling rates in England have stagnated at 45% since 2015, according to Government data. The Government said the four-bin default requirement is not expected to increase in the future to ensure councils and other waste collectors 'still have the flexibility to make the best choices to suit local need'. Households in England dumped 5.6 million tonnes of packaging last year, according to analysis commissioned by the Local Government Association (LGA), County Councils Network (CCN) and District Councils Network (DCN). The report found that 3.2 million tonnes of packaging were put into recycling bins, 2.3 million tonnes were put into residual – or 'black' bins, and 70,000 tonnes were mistakenly put in with food waste.
