Explore the 18 most-important megatrends shaping the world, and how each is impacted by AI, with top futurist Armida Ascano

Our Chief Content Officer, one of the world's most popular speakers on trends, Armida Ascano, will help you uncover the forces impacting your business in a post-COVID world.

Leveraging our big data from 225,000,000 people, we’ve built the most researched, most data-driven system for identifying opportunities. This unparalleled research led us to 6 Patterns of Opportunity and the 18 most important Megatrends shaping our future.

Micro-Generations and AI The New Formative Years

Armida Ascano

Micro-Generations and AI

The New Formative Years

Generational behavior is based in how people within a certain age group internalized shared experiences. The pandemic introduces a new shared experience across the board. This will change generational identities forever, which we approach through a microsegmented lens to get to the nuances of what it means to exist in an AI-enabled world.

Jaime Neely

Work Culture and AI

Scenarios of an AI-Enabled World

Never before has the workplace experienced such a disruptive transformation.

How can employers realign their cultures to meet the new priorities and diverse expectations of employees, all while navigating history’s most costly employee exodus?

Courtney Scharf

Ady Floyd

Sean Watson

Future Tech

AI, Automation, Metaverse and The Super Future

Technology has advanced in an accelerated pace this past few years.
