You know you’ll live in the future, right?
We are all time travelers going at a speed of one minute per minute towards a future that we should be able to shape. So that when we get there, we like it!
I invite you to join me at the Futurists X Summit on September 22-23 at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel in Dubai, where I will analyze how artificial intelligence and robotics is changing not only our companies, and our society, but ourselves. Get ready for a future that is arriving unstoppably, realizing that you can be an active part of it, if you understand what are the trends and how to take advantage of them.
The Futurists X Summit is a high-level gathering designed to tackle one of the most urgent challenges of our time: the exponential pace of technological change versus the slower, linear adaptation of policy and governance. Across two packed days, global thought leaders, scientists, innovators, astronauts, and storytellers will converge in Dubai to map how AI, quantum computing, longevity science, space exploration, and emerging infrastructures are already reshaping society—and why governments and institutions must accelerate their response.
The agenda brings together a unique constellation of voices rarely seen on the same stage:
- Professor Brian Cox explores how science, AI, and quantum technologies will reshape society
- Commander Scott Kelly, veteran NASA astronaut, offers a rare perspective on the future of humanity beyond Earth
- Inventor Pablos Holman demonstrates how science fiction becomes reality
- David Orban (yeah, that’s me) on robotics and techno-unemployment
- Ross Dawson on living with AI
- Kevin J. Anderson on envisioning the world of 2050
- Brett King and Rob Tercek unpacking how smart economies and autonomous systems will redefine work, finance, and governance.
More than a conference, the Summit is designed as a collaborative laboratory for policy adaptation and future-proof breakthroughs. Through plenaries, unconference breakouts, book signings, and even a superyacht evening, the event aims to catalyze actionable frameworks for leaders grappling with climate resilience, the economics of a post-capitalist world, and the ethical frontiers of AGI.
The outcome: to bridge the widening gap between exponential innovation and the institutions tasked with guiding humanity through it.
