View from the Future: Speaker Series with Industry Pioneers Designing the Future

Science fiction writer William Gibson famously noted, "The future is already here - it's just unevenly distributed." We believe it's also unevenly imagined. View from the Future brings you face-to-face with forward-thinking designers, entrepreneurs, and innovators who are actively imagining and building what comes next. Each week, a featured practitioner will share how emerging technologies are forging entirely new "polymath" roles and design opportunities across consumer tech, healthcare, sustainability, space, autonomous vehicles, UX, digital art, and beyond. Beyond learning about industry trends, you'll build practical strategic foresight habits - developing mindsets for anticipation, imagination, and active agency over your own career trajectory. No prior experience in these fields is required. In fact, past students frequently report that their favorite sessions covered topics completely new to them.
