• The societal ripple effects: ethical, economic, and societal impacts of a world where 100 is the new 60.
Dr. Diamandis' keynote is more than a presentation; it's a portal to the future. Attendees will leave with a profound understanding of the role AI and longevity play in our lives, equipped with the knowledge to embrace and lead this new era of human evolution.
META-TRENDS FOR THE DECADE AHEAD: THE FUTURE IS FASTER THAN YOU THINK
Exponential Technologies are accelerating faster than anyone could has ever imagined.
What happens as AI, robotics, and virtual reality crash into 3D printing, blockchain, and global gigabit networks? How will these convergences transform today’s biggest industries? How will this change the way we raise our kids, govern our nations, and care for our planet?
We will see more change and create greater wealth in the next 10 years than we have in the past century.
During this gripping and insightful keynote, Diamandis outlines a road map to our near future, describing how wave after wave of exponentially accelerating technologies will impact both our daily lives and every company.
Diamandis describes the current status and future direction of key Metatrends, driven by exponential technologies, that are re-inventing our future. Following are 10 Meta-Trends he is able to cover as desired:
• Increasing global abundance (Proof of Abundance)
• The power and growth of Artificial Intelligence
• Global networks connecting everyone, everywhere at gigabit speeds
• Connecting everything, everywhere is connected (IoT/IoE)
• The rise of humanoid robots
• Autonomous personalized transport (Autonomous Cars & eVTOL)
• Increasing Human Intelligence (AI Support + BCI)
• Increasing Human Longevity “Healthspan”
• Globally Abundant Cheap Renewable Energy
• Reinventing how we feed the world with Cellular Agriculture & Vertical Farms
BOLD THINKING FOR EXPONENTIAL ORGANIZATIONS (ExO)
Today a company’s success depends on mindset, its use of exponential technologies and the power of crowdsourcing. This keynote, based on Diamandis’ bestselling book BOLD and Exponential Organizations 2.0, Diamandis examines the approaches required to succeed during this exponential age.
Where should a company be looking to grow 10x bigger, rather than 10-percent bigger? What does it take for a company to become an Exponential Organization? How do you become Uber rather than Kodak?
Diamandis explains how a Massively Transformative Purpose (MTP) can drive your organization’s culture and help you attract the best employees. He examines the innovation principles used by GoogleX’, and the power of bold, “moonshot” thinking, and details how entrepreneurial billionaires like Larry Page, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson think -- and their strategies for scale and impact.
Diamandis adds personal stories from his own moonshot companies: XPRIZE, Singularity and Fountain Life.
This keynote will audiences to:
- Create a culture of innovation, Moonshot thinking, and continuous learning within your organization, driven by a Massively Transformative Purpose (MTP) to inspire and attract the best talent.
- Identify areas in your company where you can shift from seeking 10% improvements to aiming for 10X growth.
- Understand the key attributes of an Exponential Organization and evaluate the most important changes required to accelerate your growth.
- Shift your organization’s mindset from 'linear to exponential' and 'scarcity-minded to abundance-focused,' leveraging digital transformation to meet rapidly changing markets and customer needs.
- Identify and overcome common barriers to innovation, such as risk aversion and legacy thinking, by implementing strategies for sustained innovation and adaptability.
- Harness the collective intelligence and skills of a diverse crowd for open innovation and solutions, while ensuring responsible and ethical growth in the face of rapid technological advancement.
- Emphasize the importance of individual leadership and resilience in driving bold initiatives and navigating the challenges of exponential change.
TRANSFORMING SCARCITY TO ABUNDANCE
Diamandis is the New York Times bestselling author of ABUNDANCE – The Future Is Better Than You Think (#1 on Amazon, #2 on NYTimes). In Abundance, and his newest book AGE OF ABUNDANCE (out in mid-2024), Diamandis shows us how technology is turning areas of scarcity into abundance. This bold, contrarian view, backed up by exhaustive research, introduces our near-term future, where exponentially growing technologies (AI, Robotics, Sensors, Networks, 3D Printing, Synthetic Biology, etc.) and the power of the crowd are converging to better the lives of billions.
This keynote is an antidote to pessimism. Diamandis examines human need by category — water, food, energy, healthcare, education, communication and freedom — and shows the audience detailed evidence on the revolutionary improvements in these areas over the past century. He addresses how a range of exponential technologies are transforming what was once scarce into abundance. Humanity’s grandest challenge is providing abundance, and this keynote addresses how we rise to meet it.
Diamandis brings to light a refreshing narrative: the world's alarming headlines are outpaced by positive trend lines. Extreme poverty is down. The health care is improving dramatically around the world. There are developments now which make me believe we might be able to do what we did in the 1990s, which is to use technological developments to create more jobs than we lose.
In this era of rapid change and uncertainty, Dr. Diamandis offers a beacon of hope, a blueprint for a bountiful future, and a strategic guide for those ready to lead the charge. Embrace the opportunity to inspire your organization with a vision that transcends the status quo, turning the tide from scarcity to abundance.
