Artificial intelligence, aging populations, climate crisis — the rapidly changing world is opening the door to unprecedented volatility and unmatched innovation.
To prepare for these challenges, a Santa Barbara conference, called the Pacific Coast Futures Retreat, is equipping future-focused thinkers to lead the way.
Hosted by Robert. B Tucker, a global futurist and innovation keynote speaker, the May 2 retreat is a one-day exploration in innovation.
Registration is now open for the event, which is limited to 60 visionary attendees, at the Music Academy Conference Center.
“Artificial intelligence, climate change, and the aging population will disrupt millions who are unprepared.” Tucker said. “But those same forces also provide an incredible opportunity for those ready to lead change.
“At the retreat, we’ll immerse ourselves in preparing our businesses, organizations, schools and society for what’s next, because every aspect of our lives will be impacted by these coming changes.”
The conference is designed for entrepreneurs, executives, technologists, and others who are ready to create a bolder vision of tomorrow.
Led by experts in their field, each interactive session will help attendees map the emerging terrain and master the skills needed to unleash creativity and seize opportunities, Tucker said.
Speakers and sessions include:
- Tucker on Navigating the Future
- Rinaldo Brutoco (founder/CEO of the World Business Academy), on Driving the Net Zero Energy Future Through Innovation.
- Jim Cathcart (speaker, author and personal development expert) on Maximizing Your Potential, and Maximizing Your Future.
- Chris Chirgwin (tech entrepreneur) on Navigating The Future of Technology & Profiting From Opportunities in Emerging Tech-Trends.
- Don Gilman (technology and leadership strategist) on Outsmarting VUCA: Achieving Success in a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex & Ambiguous World.
- Rich Sorkin (co-founder of climate risk startup Jupiter Intelligence) on How to Seize the Opportunities in Climate Change.
“Across more than three decades as a futurist, I have never witnessed the confluence of mega-forces that we are experiencing today,” Tucker said.
“In the next 10 years, some of the greatest fortunes in history will be created by those who understand the emerging landscape and are prepared to ride the waves of change. I’m fired up and ready to navigate this terrain with fellow futurists on May 2,” he said.
