“Despite our precarious position, global catastrophe is by no means a foregone conclusion.
Well ahead of slower-moving governments, companies of every size and in every part of the world are now waking up to humanity’s impending and interlocking crises, and the vastly lucrative rewards that solving them might bring” {read more on Business 3.0 in Fast Company - I particularly loved the subtitle The oblivious capitalist’s days are numbered} or listen to Andrew Zolli on Social Innovation Conversations to get a hint of what’s to come through the eyes of a futurist.

In alliance with Symphonia and Business Sculptors, Huddlemind is privileged to invite you to come and readjust your long-range vision with futurist, design strategist and cultural forecaster Andrew Zolli.

He serves as a Fellow of the National Geographic Society, where he is leading development of a global initiative to envision new scenarios for a sustainable world in 2030 and beyond.

Andrew is the designer and curator of Pop!Tech, an annual conference on the impact of technology on people that is becoming one of the most exciting and important venues for exploring the future.
