Futurist keynote speaker Matthew Griffin
Matthew Griffin is a futurist keynote speaker and the Founder and Futurist in Chief of the 311 Institute. 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.
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.
