The sessions

Futurist keynotes

His keynotes take audiences through the technologies, trends and global forces that will reshape their industry over the next decade and beyond, then turn that view into decisions leaders can act on now.

Read more

Futurism is not about predicting one future. Matthew helps audiences see the range of futures that could unfold, spot the signals early and build organisations that can adapt to whichever arrives. His keynotes connect technology, society, economics and geopolitics into one clear picture.

He is the author of the 17-book Codex of the Future series and has advised more than 500 organisations across 102 countries.

The biggest societal and technological changes by 2040

The shifts in technology, society and the economy that will define the next 15 years, and what they mean for your organisation.

The post-future of everything

How exponential technologies are rewriting every industry at once, and how to stay ahead when change compounds.

Life in the year 2069

A long-range view of how we will live, work and do business, used to stress-test today's strategy.

Leading the unpredictable future

How leaders build foresight into decisions so their organisation is ready for more than one outcome.
