Keynote Speakers
Richard Yonck, Futurist
Change and progress are not only inevitable, they’re accelerating. As we look out at the next ten, twenty, even thirty years, what kinds of changes will we need to prepare for? What are the opportunities and challenges we’re likely to face, both in our personal lives and in our businesses? How can society strengthen its resilience for dealing with the unexpected and what will we need to do to make ourselves truly future ready?
Join futurist Richard Yonck for an inspiring and thought-provoking conference kickoff to learn how we can build the future we both deserve AND prefer.
