When they aren’t busy wading through data and dashing through airports, they’re speaking with heads of government and head chefs about leading through disruption, they’re upskilling thousands of Australian leaders across 20+ industries and the government in cutting-edge tech, and they’re sharing their insights on the future of work with adoring audiences in boardrooms, ballrooms, and opera houses around the world.

In this keynote, explore what you need to know next and how you can make the most of the decade ahead. They bring you wisdom and insights drawn from rigorous signals work and conversations with 150+ global leaders, from CEOs to judges, from heads of government to head chefs.

And we’ll introduce you to the four Blobs, which are the four key areas of skills convergence that capture the shape of things to come. We will, in short, they will help you stay ready for anything as a leader.
