We are in completely uncharted waters in troubled times globally and across the EU. Over 96,000 reads of this page.
(Futurist comment written 24 June 2016 - you can judge for yourself how accurate it has turned out to be)
The decisive vote to divorce the UK from the EU will influence the future of an entire generation of business people. There is no official mechanism for leaving the EU: it has never been done before and there are no guidelines or procedures defined in law - in either the UK or in Brussels. (Comment by Patrick Dixon, Brexit keynote speaker - Brexit strategy advisor).
Brexit will have a profound impact on the future direction of the EU and is likely to trigger multiple, complex global events. Just the fact that such a Brexit vote took place was already having an impact elsewhere across the EU before voting began. For example, on 26th February 2016, an opinion poll in Denmark showed that most Danes want to have a vote of their own.
And there is a significant risk of contagion - spread of uncertainty and fear, into chaos, into instabilities in currencies and economies, radical shifts in business strategies... In a globalised world, such things can spread at the speed of light.
The longer term future of the EU and the future of the UK will both be driven by a single word, more powerful than economics, or innovation, and that word is of course “emotion”, linked to the most important single human force in the world today which is TRIBALISM.

Spirituality, World Religion, Christianity, Church
Video of keynote on global trends to over 1450 church leaders from 30 nations, part of the Elim church network.
Around 85% of people in the world today say that they recognise a spiritual dimension to life, which reflects an ancient pattern in place since the beginning of human history. While strident voices of humanistic atheism are likely to grow louder in some developed nations, they will almost certainly be drowned out globally over the next 50 years by the vast majority who remain convinced that there is more to life than atoms, molecules and bags of biodata. In developed nations, informal expressions of spirituality seem likely to multiply, as we see further decline in organised religion. Expect growth in personal systems for meditation, in self-help guides to spiritual enlightenment. So what will be the future of organised religion - Christianity, Islam and other global faith traditions?

Future Health Care and Pharma Keynote Speaker
Savaşlar ve şiddeti bir tarafa bırakırsak, insanoğlu daha uzun yaşamın peşinde. Siz de bazı hayvanları örnek göstererek ‘Niye onlar daha uzun yaşıyor?’’ diye soruyorsunuz. İnanıyor musunuz daha uzun yaşayacağımıza? İnanmıyorum, eminim. Aynı yerden, aynı şekilde beslenen bir balina 50 yıl yaşarken diğeri 250 yıl yaşıyorsa, genlerine bakacaksınız. “Gen taraması metodu hem hastalıkları tedavi edecek, hem de yaşlanmayı öteleyecek. Bakın dünya nüfusunu % 85’i önümüzdeki 10 sene içinde yeni gelişen ülkelerde yaşıyor olacaklar. 2030 yılına kadar Çin’deki şehirlere 300 milyon göç, Afrika’daki şehirlere 475 milyon göç gerçekleşecek. Maalesef Avrupa’daki genç nüfus azalıyor. Her 4 çiftten sadece 1’i çocuk sahibi. 2026 yılında İtalya’da 90 yaş ve üstü insan sayısı 1 milyona ulaşacak. Eczane harcamalarının yüzde 65’i, 65 yaş ve üzeri kişilere ait. Dünyada insanların % 80’i sağlık harcamalarına ihtiyaç duyuyor. % 88’inin hepsi reçeteli ve %70’inin doktor muayenesine ihtiyacı var. Bunların hepsinin sebebi de; insanların yaşlanması.
