SANTA BARBARA — Artificial intelligence. Aging populations. The climate crisis. The world is changing more rapidly than any other moment in history, opening the door to both unprecedented volatility and unmatched innovation. The time to prepare for tomorrow’s challenges is now — and an immersive Santa Barbara conference is equipping future-forward thinkers to lead the charge.
Hosted by Global Futurist and Innovation Keynote Speaker Robert. B Tucker, the Pacific Coast Futures Retreat will bring the nation’s leading minds to Santa Barbara for an immersive one-day exploration in innovation. Registration is now open for the May 2 retreat, which is limited to 60 future-minded attendees.
“Artificial intelligence, climate change and the aging population will disrupt millions who are unprepared. But those same forces also provide an incredible opportunity for those ready to lead change,” says Tucker. “At the retreat, we’ll immerse ourselves in preparing our businesses, organizations, schools and society for what’s next — because every aspect of our lives will be impacted by these coming changes.”
The conference is designed for entrepreneurs, executives, technologists and other innovators ready to create a bolder vision of tomorrow. Led by renowned experts, each interactive session will help attendees map the emerging terrain and master the navigational skills required to unleash creativity and seize opportunities, Tucker says.
Speakers and sessions include:
- Tucker on “Navigating the Future”
- Rinaldo Brutoco (founder and CEO of the World Business Academy), on “Driving the Net Zero Energy Future Through Innovation”
- Jim Cathcart (speaker, author and personal development expert) on “Maximizing Your Potential, and Maximizing Your Future”
- Chris Chirgwin (tech entrepreneur) on “Navigating The Future of Technology & Profiting From Opportunities in Emerging Tech-Trends”
- Dr. Don Gilman (technology and leadership strategist) on “Outsmarting VUCA: Achieving Success in a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex & Ambiguous World”
- Rich Sorkin (co-founder of the climate risk startup Jupiter Intelligence) on “How to Seize the Opportunities in Climate Change”
“Across more than three decades as a futurist, I have never witnessed the confluence of mega-forces that we are experiencing today,” says Tucker. “In the next 10 years, some of the greatest fortunes in history will be created by those who understand the emerging landscape and are prepared to ride the waves of change. I’m fired up and ready to navigate this terrain with fellow futurists on May 2.”
