Futurist keynote speakers help organisations make sense of the trends shaping the years ahead, from technology and AI to demographics, work and the economy. They turn research and foresight into clear, practical insight, helping leaders plan with confidence and teams adapt to what is coming. From leadership conferences and strategy days to industry events and board briefings, they give audiences a clearer view of the future and the ideas to prepare for it. Our futurist speakers include Ross Dawson, Michael McQueen, Bernard Salt AM, Steve Sammartino, Anders Sörman-Nilsson, Simon Kuestenmacher, Dr Catriona Wallace and Gihan Perera.
Star the speakers you like above and they'll be added to your brief, or just tell us about your event. Our consultants will return a curated shortlist within one business day.
Choosing the right futurist starts with the questions your audience needs answered. Are you planning a long-term strategy, preparing your industry for disruption or helping people understand how technology and society are changing? A clear goal helps us recommend futurists whose focus fits your organisation.
Consider who will be in the room. A board planning ten years ahead needs a different conversation from a sales conference or an all-staff event. Technology futurists explore AI, digital change and innovation, while demographers and social researchers explain how populations, consumers and workplaces are shifting. Some futurists focus on a single industry, while others take a broad view across business and society.
Look for a futurist who connects big trends to practical decisions. Relevant examples and clear next steps help people see what the future means for their own work.
We coordinate the briefing process, giving your speaker an understanding of your organisation, your industry and the outcomes you want to achieve.

There is plenty of overlap. A futurist focuses on the trends and changes ahead and what they could mean for your industry. An innovation speaker focuses more on how organisations respond, with practical ways to generate and test ideas. Some speakers cover both, and we’ll help you find the right balance for your event.
