Join EDC for another outstanding evening with leaders from the region's technology and life sciences industries, as well as professionals from the region's largest service firms, research institutions and universities. More than 900 guests are expected to attend.  This year's program promises to be another exceptional presentation from an impressive speaker. 

Ten Lessons from the Future - The future is a matter of choice, not chance.  Consumer culture, technology and business - we know what the world was like in the 1960s and 70s, but what is the inevitable future in the next 30 years? In this warp-speed world it is no longer sufficient to learn from experience - we must learn to learn from the future.

Don't miss this roller-coaster ride presentation - from the culture of the sixties and seventies, the so-called Age of Aquarius - and the attitudes, products and companies it spawned - to the potential scenarios of the next three decades.  What could we have learned about the future back then?  Why did we underestimate some of the most important new developments, such as the personal computer and the impact of the mobile phone?  And learning from perfect hindsight, what can we realistically predict for the 2020s?  To learn more about Wolfgang Grulke visit http://www.futureworld.co.za/Gurus/GuruCoza.aspx?GuruID=4485
