Your World and The Future of Everything!
The future? It’s fast. It will get your mind spinning!
Client List
Global leaders, industry and professional associations, corporate organizations – they have all turned to Jim Carroll for insight on aligning to a faster, more complex future. Shouldn’t you?
KEYNOTE:
Your World and The Future of Everything!
Companies that do not yet exist will build products not yet conceived, with materials not yet in existence, using methodologies not yet developed – and these will be sold to consumers who do not yet know that these new products and services will become a critical part of their lives!
That’s the perspective that Futurist Jim Carroll brings to his keynote presentation at association events and corporate leadership meetings – and with that theme in mind, will provide you with a customized, concise overview of the trends that matter.
Artificial intelligence & machine learning; the metaverse, and virtual and augmented reality; autonomous vehicle technology; collaborative robots and the acceleration of proximity partners; pharmacogenetics and DNA-based precision medicine; the dominance of algorithms and predictive insight; green tech, microgrids, and renewables – Futurist Jim Carroll will cover it all in this fast-moving presentation.
Clients who have arranged for Jim at these sessions have included Disney, Chemours, Dupont, Rich Foods, NASA, Mercedes Benz, New York Life, Volvo, Siemens Energy, Nestle, Black & Veach, Pfizer, and many, many more.
