Keynote Speaker on Futurism Paris

keynote speaker, Fortune 100

What is Futurism?

Futurism is a visionary mindset that helps imagine, design and create new possibilities. It is the art and science of using existing trends and data to envision completely new paths, processes and options that shape a world that’s yet to unfold.

Beyond a theoretical construct or fascination with what’s to come, futurism is a proactive mindset that takes technological advancements, societal changes, cultural developments and global shifts into account within high-level decision-making.

To John, futurism is more than simply predicting and forecasting:

For businesses operating in today’s fast-paced world, embracing futurism allows them to capitalise on emerging trends.

In an age of rapid digital transformation, business and consumerism are constantly in flux, and staying ahead of the curve is crucial. Market shifts, changing consumer needs, global developments and more can easily throw an organization out of balance. Making decisions with a futurist mindset can help an organization pivot, adapt, innovate and incorporate new technologies before they become commonplace.

Unlock new possibilities and shape a better tomorrow fuelled by discovery and growth. Book futurist keynote speaker John Sanei and learn as he provides the vision and foresight your organization needs to pave the way for progress.
