Arriving at the end of another astounding year which no one could have predicted, shall we have a go at recapping the past year and looking forward to the future?

We’re still attempting to make sense of the known unknowns, the known knowns and the unknown unknowns, but nothing screams Holiday Season like a gathering of diverse, intelligent, creative and inquisitive people to tee off the dive down the rabbit hole.

There’s no agenda other than to share what we’ve seen and illuminate trends we’re witnessing heading into the new year. When considering societal interaction with technologies, systems or movements, what are you looking forward to in the coming year? What flags of concern are rising that our fingers should be on the pulse of? Where can we step up, lean in, pay forward to make a difference in society?

All insights and/or incites are welcome! Are we ready?

Let’s get together to reflect and project into the New Year. Hope you can make it!

Join the Augmented Society Network to discuss: 

  • High impact societal events of consequence in the past year.
  • Trends we should keep an eye on in the coming year.
  • Ways in which to set our expectations and fortify our resilience for success in the future.
