Overview

The second of the Quickfire Storytelling sessions brings together some of the world’s leading futurists to share bold ideas and conflicting predictions of how the world might look in 10 years’ time.

The adoption of connected technologies is driving change at an unprecedented rate. ICTs will transform the very nature of business, education and the way that global citizens communicate and share information.

Short snappy stories will offer insights into the future, from a variety of perspectives in a variety of styles. These science-fiction tales will be based on science-fact; sometimes contentious, sometimes irreverent, but always thought-provoking, will catalyze dynamic debate.

All stories will be presented in the Quickfire Format: 10 slides // 30 seconds per slide // up to 10 words or an image per slide // once they click they can’t stop.

This session was co-curated with The Futures Agency.
