The Next Twenty Years series is a unique industry gathering which explores both online and at live events, emerging trends and scenarios we might expect to witness in the next two decades. The ongoing lecture and showcase series, produced by Bob Ayres, has helped link ideas and industry executives since 1996. The series was started to engage industry leaders, press, policy makers, VCs, and industry analysts in a longer-range exploration of what lies ahead.

Within this site you will find selected articles on global trends. You can also sign up to attend our smaller industry salons and/or the larger venue public lectures. We look forward to hearing from you… Enjoy!
