Greetings everyone! The Futures Agency (my company) recently launched the new digital conference series which is generating huge interest from around the globe; the last one had 650 signups and 330 people attending. Not only are these events utterly needed and appreciated as we are all fighting the lock-downs, loss of income and many other consequences of covid19, I think that online conferencing will be a huge business, going forward . We are currently using the amazing Zoom.us platform for our events, but are investigating many other ones as well, such as Vimeo Live, Crowdcast and Lifestorm. I think we won’t ever give up meeting each other in real-life but online meetings and conferences will certainly become the new normal.
So join me for our next event, details below (Zoom direct sign-up is here)
We must keep meeting, learning and collaborating - if we fail to adapt we will fail to exist:)
Greetings from Zürich and stay well!!

March 26, 6pm CET : FREE Digital Conference with Futurists Anton Musgrave, Gerd Leonhard, Liselotte Lygnso, KD Adamson: The Future of BusinessDescriptionDanish futurist Liselotte Lygnso has just been added as guest-speaker, see https://thefuturesagency.com/speakers/liselotte-lyngso/ for more details on Liselotte. Blue Futurist’ KD Adamson will join us as well see https://thefuturesagency.com/speakers/k-d-adamson/. The latest updates will be shared here: https://gerd.fm/39ZgAsN
We are living in an age of perpetual VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity) — and given that we are also moving at exponential pace, FORESIGHT is now mission-critical. Being ‘future-ready’ is everyone’s job now, and it requires more than good data, sharp analysis and domain expertise. To ‘have a get feel’ for what’s coming is probably more of an art than a science — imagination and intuition are just as important as experience and knowledge: EQ AND IQ.
Hence, this session will focus on what we call PRACTICAL WISDOM, i.e. we will share our insights and foresights about the next decade and apply them to the here and now. We will present for 15 minutes each, and then take questions and have live discussions with the audience.
We will talk about the 10 Game-Changers impacting every business in the near future, and the Megashifts see www.megashifts.digital focussing on near future scenarios and ‘practical wisdoms’. Have a look at www.futuristgerd.com and https://thefuturesagency.com/speakers/anton-musgrave/ for more Details on what we do.
More details will be published on http://www.theconference.digital soon!
Please note that this is a FREE event, for now, as we are trying out new ideas and concepts. This may change in the future.
