REIMAGINE THE FUTURE

Join a global conversation about rethinking tomorrow for yourself and your organization

6 MAY 2020 – 24-hrs Virtual Summit

6 MAY REIMAGINE THE FUTURE HOW TO RETHINK TOMORROW FOR YOU AND YOUR ORGANIZATION.


The futures we had planned must suddenly be rethought. We have an obligation and opportunity to reimagine the future.

Some of the world’s foremost thinkers in strategy, innovation and leadership are convening to explore what the future of our organizations, economy and society might be.

On April 6th/7th we hosted a virtual summit welcoming more than 2,000+ leaders and professionals from 50+ countries, offering guidance to navigate through times of unprecedented uncertainty.

The summit donated more than $80,000+ in proceeds to charities supporting populations most impacted by COVID19: children who no longer have access to hot lunches, hourly workers no longer with income, and the elderly most at risk medically.

Moments like these occur rarelyin human history.

We welcomed on our stage Paul Krugman, Roger Martin, Rita McGrath, Scott Galloway, Whitney Johnson, Alexander Osterwalder, Safi Bahcall, Amy Webb, Salim Ismail, Liz Wiseman and many others, who volunteered their time to speak.

What was a crazy idea initially is turning into a global movement- and all of that happened in just two weeks.

Responding to a huge demand from both business thinkers wanting to volunteer and speak, as well as leaders and professionals globally wanting to learn and engage, we’re extending the summit with one extra day.

On May 6th, we’ll continue the conversation with a 24-hours summit “Reimagine The Future” and you can be part of it.



The summit offers a unique opportunity to interact with the world's foremost business thinkers. Discover the tools, concepts and frameworks that enable you to understand and shape the future.

Pink is top ten ranked by Thinkers50, and author of some of the most accessible and influential business books of our time, including When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, Drive and To Sell is Human.

He has hosted a National Geographic Television series about social science, studied the comic industry in Tokyo, and served from 1995 to 1997 as chief speechwriter for US Vice President Al Gore. He has been a contributing editor at Fast Company and Wired, as well as a business columnist for The Sunday Telegraph.

His provocative ideas draw on research in behavioural and social sciences. He examines the mismatch between what science knows, and what business does. His work on human motivation explains that the secret to high performance is not monetary reward, but the need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things.

His theory on timing is not that it is an art, but a science, and we can use the hidden patterns of the day to build the ideal schedule. The “when”, he argues, is just as important as the “why” and the “what”, when we make decisions.
