Speaking

Throughout the year, I speak at major conferences and private business events alike, setting the tone through keynotes, engaging in the occasional controversial panels and even doing standup informal talks on a wide range of topics, including:

• Global macroshifts in technology, society, economics, politics and how they may create unanticipated futures.
• The Post-reset Landscape—how could we emerge from the current global turmoil and readjustment?
• The role of emerging markets in the next 50 years, and how the major economies and societies are changing places.
• The evolving nature of cities, and how technology will shift the way we think of megacities in the next century.
• Design fiction, experiential futures and foresight strategies. 
• Wildcards, conflicts and brewing discontinuities. 
• Creating, growing and nurturing intelligence networks for the next decade. 
• Building futures thinking into design and innovation.
• The future of innovation and futures education.

Great group discussion topics and briefings include issues recently covered in my Discontinuities column:

• The impact of China on global technology culture
• Changes brought by pervasive surveillance and new monitoring technologies
• How the human-robot relationship is changing
• The role of computer algorithms in reshaping politics
• Disruptions created by the spread of drone technologies
• The hollowing of the American middle class and its convergence with emerging markets
• The emergence of darknets, greynets and parallel economies.
