Presented by Trevor Haldenby
Introducing emerging trends in transmedia storytelling and participatory entertainment, the session will explore how new approaches to building story worlds, spreading story content across media, and engaging customers and audiences as co-creators can bridge the gap between science-fiction storytelling, scenario planning, and open foresight practices. These ideas will be explored using case studies of ByoLogyc, a transmedia future scenario, and DIY Days, a participatory design workshop series.

How do we change the stories we tell ourselves about the future? In this keynote presentation, futurist and experience designer Trevor Haldenby explores how transmedia storytelling, pervasive gaming, and bottom-up cultures of creativity are transforming how we engage with the world of tomorrow.
The Mission Business is a creator of immersive future scenarios for companies who want to explore, innovate, and change the world... but we started off as an interactive entertainment company. This presentation explores our roots, and our first three projects — the entertainment experiences ZED.TO and VISITATIONS, as well as our first corporate commission, a sci-fi experience come to life called ByoLogyc: Shadowfall for Autodesk IDEAS.
The road to innovation requires special behaviors and skills, we will explore both of them in this presentation. We will also follow a few innovative bread crumbs on the way.

Visualisation and Simulation for teaching, learning and assessmentdebbieholley1
Session two of a series of keynotes talks at the University of the Sunshine Coast
Visualisation and Simulation:
“The future is human, and the future of learning is immersive. In the future, learning will take the shape of a story, a play, a game; involving multiple platforms and players; driven by dialogue and augmented with technology, an interplay of immersive experiences, data, and highly social virtual worlds” State of XR and Immersive Learning Outlook Report (2021 p 21)
Debbie contributed to the Delphi study above, , and to the updated with findings due this June. This session will consider the opportunities afforded by Visualisation and Simulation; and discuss ways in which educators can draw upon both lo-tec and hi-tech solutions in a range of disciplinary contexts; and consider what digital futures may offer us as educators, as well as those we educate, our students.
Presented by Steven M. Johnson
Some futurists think up alternate future scenarios while working with a group at a futures research think tank, while others work alone as artists and writers, brainstorming within their own minds. In an illustrated talk, artist-inventor Steven M. Johnson shares his secrets for coming up with numbingly dumb, humorous invention concepts, as well as prophetically-accurate depictions of future technologies that were sometimes decades ahead.

Presented by Jerome Glenn
“The future doesn’t need us,” Bill Joy said in his famous 2001 WIRED article. He warned us of the threats posed by advanced technologies, and suggested we should slow down their advancement. Many today agree with Joy. The evolution of our knowledge about nature and the evolution of nature itself have come to a historic crossroads, others claim. It took billions of years for nature to produce our universe, a planet called Earth and a living species able to ask questions and create answers. It took humans just decades to develop a technology to bring our collective knowledge back to life deep within the brains of super computers and show it on the screens of Ipads and smart phones. With digital technology, an astonishing transformation is taking place right in front of our eyes. Since the Big Bang, nature has been the sole creator of the future. Until humans came along and unraveled nature’s tricks, enough so to take away its monopoly, and bring us to the most important crossroads in the history of our universe.
Presented by Jerome Glenn
How do we handle the world’s major challenges? This session will provide a framework to better understand global change and what is strategic for the future of civilization. Worldwide synergies and cross-impacts will be cited among sustainable development, climate change, water, demographics, democratization, ICT, development gaps, health and disease, global foresight and decision making, conflict and security, gender relations, organized crime, energy, S&T, global ethics, and education.
Presented by Jay Gary, Lane Jennings, Kate McCallum, and Alex McManus
Whether it is Teihard de Chardin's "omega point," Barbara Marx Hubbard's "conscious evolution," Ken Wilber's "integral theory," Ziauddin Sardar's "Islamic science" or Pope Francis' exhortation to simplicity, the religious imagination continues to reframe our quest toward transformation and tomorrow. This panel will share how the spiritual quest for "terra nova" is expressed in their own futures work ranging from transmedia in Hollywood entertainment, to a "Voxtropolis" mashup in Motown with rap and social entrepreneurs, to a journal that ponders how the spirituality of science fiction is creating a post-terrestrial age.
How has your futurist work intersected with your career? What are the present state and future prospects of building a career in foresight? What competencies will tomorrow’s futurists demonstrate, whether as trend analysts, project managers, facilitators, or consultants?
Presented by David Pearce Snyder
Most futurists today believe that the middle class job loss and widening income gap arising from our current techno-economic restructuring will ultimately be followed by a “rising tide” of prosperity based on new products, services and jobs. For those without a hopeful long term vision, however, our degraded economic performance has provoked political mobilization promoting simplistic solutions for our many complex problems. Futurists can/should actively inject an understanding of our complex circumstances into the public dialogue.
Presented by John Vanston and Carrie Vanston
The world is constantly changing and you must keep moving forward to remain relevant and profit in your area or areas of interest. During this inspiring program, world-renowned Futurist David Pearce Snyder describes this changing world and the forces driving it. He helps you see the future through a matrix of many emerging trends – minitrends – that reflect the macro-changes that you must anticipate to be successful as the future unfolds. Futurist Dr. John Vanston and Carrie Vanston, authors of the award-winning book MINITRENDS, will provide seven ways for you to find, analyze, and profit from important minitrends. The MiniTrends Mindset offers huge opportunities to those alert enough to identify them, perceptive enough to realize their importance, and adept enough to take advantage of them.
Presented by Brad Aiken
Doctor and science-fiction writer Brad Aiken presents on new and upcoming technologies in neurological rehabilitation. Topics include breakthrough advances that can help people recover from stroke, brain injury, and spinal cord injury. Current, cutting-edge technologies will be discussed, as well as likely upcoming advances in this field.
What if...different visions of the future human, and factors impacting the future evolution of humanity—short/medium to distant future—come true? What different scenarios result for our human, societal, planetary, and cosmic futures from each view? What kind of society and world will we create if each scenario comes true? Views of the future human will go beyond just technological (Kurzweil or body augmentation) to human-robotic relations, space exploration, earth preservation, consciousness views, and combinations.
Foresight Careers: A Guide to Doing Strategic ForesightCynthia G. Wagner

Presented by David Wood
The smartphone industry has seen both remarkable successes and remarkable failures over the last two decades. Developments have frequently confounded the predictions of apparent expert observers. What does this rich history have to teach futurists, technology enthusiasts, and activists for other forms of technology adoption and social improvement?
Presented by Lee Rainie
An overview of the extensive roster of expert predictions about the coming decade that the Pew Internet Project recently gathered. Among other things, this keynote covers what happens to people’s behavior when the Internet is everywhere, how new social and cultural divides will emerge, how deeply education will be disrupted, and how a different mix of companies will influence the Internet.
Presented by Nicole Baker
When we think about the future, we often resort to visions of technology. However, as social beings, language, collaboration, networking, and connection are key to our development. Human communication will continue to transform with changes in technology, the global economy, cities, and more. The session will explore the convergence of these weak signals to understand how trends like social architecture, emotional software, and the global brain change how we work, interact, and ultimately live.
Presented by Patrick Sheehan.

Much time and energy has been spent in an attempt to return the global economy to its pre-recession trajectory. What if it is not possible to return to business as usual? This session will examine the case against a return to business as usual.
Presented by Jim Damicis, Rupam Shrivastava, and Virginia Gibbs
In 2012 and 2013, two COTF panels introduced the concept of the emergence of a Creative Molecular Economy (CME) at the World Future Society conference. New ideas such as a Future Forward Workforce, Leadership for an Emerging New Economy and Building Interlocking Entrepreneurial Networks were introduced. This session continues to introduce new practical practices for a CME to include a 21st Century System of Venture Capital and how to create regional centers able to build capacities for a CME.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

44. BRX
We've set up this clinic to offer you a free ByoRenew 2.0 pill.
ByoRenew 2.0 acts as a "vaccine" against BRX, protecting you
from the inside out. In order to beat BRX, we need consumers like
you to be smart and responsible about protecting yourself. Coming
here tonight to take ByoRenew 2.0 was the right choice.
We've also created the SCD
(Sanitation & Containment Division),
a special operations arm of ByoLogyc
dedicated to isolating BRX in the
Toronto community and ending its
exponential spread.
AT THIS POINT, WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT
BRX IS HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS OR FATAL.
AND IT IS SPREADING
BRX is a virus created by the online terrorist o
known as EXE. They created BRX by sabotaging
revolutionary drug created by ByoLogyc that has th
change the world. But while ByoRenew heals and
mutates and destroys. By now, as many as twenty th
worldwide are infected with BRX. Many of these
Toronto, the centre of the outbreak and home to
global operations. Symptoms of BRX are wide-
unpredictable. Chances are that you already kno
who is an unwitting victim.
BRX?
BYOLOGYC IS
HERE TO HELP
WHAT IS
BRX is difficult to diagnose, as symptoms vary substantially
between patients. This is a result of ByoRenew's unique
XNA-based architecture that enables it to adapt to fit the
needs of individual users. Are you experiencing nasal
congestion? That could be BRX. Are you experiencing a
seizure? That could be BRX too.
Evidence suggests that BRX most commonly targets the
brain, producing symptoms that manifest throughout the
nervous, endocrine, and endocannabinoid systems. But don't
worry too much, the dangers aren't as extreme as they might
seem. You may only experience personality distortion, blurry
vision, a craving for high-calorie food items, and fatigue.

It’s one thing to read a science fiction short story

fact that explores the human implications of science,
but it’s very much another sensation when someone
hands you a science fiction prototype and asks you to
put it in your mouth.
