Industry Leaders Forecast the Future Through Lens of Hope

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, October 12, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- High profile C-suite leaders from a range of industries including beauty, entertainment, sports, and tech, are slated to be honored and come together to forecast the future through a lens of hope at FutureCast 2023. The non-traditional business conference will include a social impact awards ceremony, pizza party, and ice cream social. The third annual futurist event will be held Friday, October 20, 2023, at the end of Advertising Week in Manhattan, New York. The hybrid experience will take place in-person at an exclusive location from 8:30 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. ET. Virtual and limited in-person tickets are available through October 18th at www.futurecast.me.

The daylong event starts with a fireside chat about the future of movies and a book signing with author Stacy Spikes, co-founder and CEO of MoviePass. Following the opening session is an intimate conversation about accessibility with Guide Beauty founder Terri Bryant, along with a talk about the future of tech featuring Women in Tech US President Lori Rodriguez and Critical Mass Chief Innovation Officer Ara Kurnit. FutureCast 2023 will highlight the future of sports and innovation with special appearances by former professional athletes turned entrepreneurs and conclude with an exclusive tribute to Hip Hop’s 50th anniversary. The closing fireside chat will feature the iconic multi-award-winning music video and television director Benny Boom.

FutureCast 2023 is a must-attend event for CEOs, CMOs, DEI and ESG leaders, social impact founders, HR and talent development professionals, accessibility advocates, and organizations committed to a triple bottom line – people, planet and profits. As an interactive showcase, attendees can expect to glean industry tips from experts who will share innovative strategies and social impact solutions.

According to the 2021 Porter Novelli Purpose Premium Index, 75% of Americans say it is no longer acceptable for companies just to make money; they must positively impact society, and per Edelman’s 2023 Trust Barometer people fear for their economic future without a trust safety net. Only 40% of respondents say they and their families will be better off in five years, a 10-point decline from 2022.

“FutureCast 2023 will explore how to build a more beautiful world by forecasting the future through a lens of hope, which is our theme this year,” said Julian S. Newman, founder and CEO of The FutureCast Foundation. “The idea to launch FutureCast in 2021, was inspired after I read the book Ten Lessons For A Post-Pandemic World by Fareed Zakaria. I felt that the world needed hope and leadership – and we’re looking forward to a third impactful year at FutureCast, with support from our partners.”
