INSIDE FUTURE IN REVIEW - The World's Most Essential Gathering for Tech Leaders Clear your schedule Feb 28-March 4! By Berit Anderson Future in Review has never been a "normal" conference, and this year is no different. We've created the most impressive - and most essential - lineup of business, intelligence, and tech leaders solving global challenges you'll find anywhere on Earth. Due to the breadth of our work, we've sometimes struggled with how to describe FiRe to potential attendees, members, partners, and beyond. Usually, we wind up with some combination of the following:
This might not be so evident to any Succession fans out there, but there are significant benefits to being part of a family company: for example, shared values of innovation, action, freedom of speech, and creativity. A commitment to moral and intellectual integrity. And unlike most media sources out there, none of us worries that we'll get fired for saying or writing what we believe to be true. In fact, it's our only mandate. That matters, especially now. The world has never been more exposed to the impacts of climate crisis, global pandemic, and a rising global authoritarian tide. The FiRe agenda reflects these priorities. It's a tide driven by cyber, information, and economic warfare, but which threatens to come to physical blows as Russia breathes down Ukraine's neck and Central Asia has just suffered a massive grid outage originating in Kazakhstan, electrical gateway to Russia. Germany's new chancellor, poised between Russia and the US/NATO alliance, has proven frightfully unwilling to stand up to Russian aggression despite Germany's Green Party having taken a hard stance in that direction. The supply of gas, it turns out, is a compelling political backbone for Olaf Scholz. At Future in Review:
And what will drive the technological backbone of all this? The world's most advanced AI and pattern recognition engines. Which is why we're partnering this year with Pattern Computer Inc., a company literally born onstage at Future in Review and now valued at more than $1B due to its pioneering advances in medical diagnostics & treatments and business efficiencies made possible by its world-changing Pattern Discovery Engine. Pattern Computer will be hosting a full day of workshops and conversations focused on the bleeding edge of artificial intelligence, with Mark Anderson (CEO of both Pattern & SNS) leading a workshop for all attendees focused on how to use pattern recognition to drive innovation at your firm. And for all you investors out there, we've recruited a lineup of startups with mind-blowing technologies to change the world for the better through AI, AR & VR, energy storage and transmission, medical diagnostics, robotics, encryption, and beyond. Who else will you find at Future in Review this year?
And there are many more (see full agenda below). You need to hear from these people. You need to meet these people. You need to work with these people. And the only place you'll find this variety and caliber of innovators is at Future in Review. Don't be fooled by the fact that this year's conference is a virtual event. This will not be a week of humdrum, heads-on-screen webinars. We're baking in high-impact networking events for you to meet speakers and attendees in a serious but playful setting, the chance to ask questions of every speaker after their session, and a series of workshops with members of the SNS team to help you leverage our secret sauce in your own career. If your personal or business success depends on understanding the future of technology and the global economy, you must attend. Full stop. It's worth repeating: This is a community of doers. We don't just think about things or talk about them. We get them done. And there's no one that embodies this more than you, our members. We're just getting started on our bigger journey of building the world we want to live in. We hope you'll join us as we kick things off at this year's Future in Review.
