Futurist Speakers

Promenade works with a global network of futurist speakers. 

Futurism is also referred to as forecasting, prediction, trends, scenario planning, strategic foresight and prospective studies. From wide-ranging outlooks to industry, issue, country and profession-specific areas, you’ll find the most prescient, thought provoking experts here.

Research-based by nature, most Futurist speakers customize their programs to a greater extent than typical speakers. These experts are ideal to open an event, set the tone for other sessions and encouraging attendee interaction. They also help you address change, strategy, facilitate new and diverse ideas or position your organization as a thought leader. Written Future Studies and  Customized Whitepapers are available. Leadership, Advisory and User Group conferences are  popular settings: Testimonials
