We are living in highly disruptive times. Technology is scrambling our patterns of work, travel, and rest. Climate change risks making many places in the world unlivable. And civic innovators are pushing for new models of democratic governance that can adapt to the rise of disinformation and polarization. Join us, as we learn from leading experts on what we can expect to see (good or bad) in the coming decade or more, and ways that we might shape more sustainable and equitable futures.
