Speakers will explore whether futurists really are worth their salt, and if there is more to the profession than meets the eye. Right now, there aren’t many major organizations certifying futurists, but that could change in the future. The panel will dive into what futurists aim to achieve in their work and the different ways people can get into these careers. As the field of futures and foresight grows, it’s expected to evolve, especially now that the “future” plays such a big role in public strategies. Before looking ahead, we'll also take a step back and reflect on how the profession has developed so far.
