Where Are We Headed?

The Odyssey is a story thousands of years old that still moves us deeply today. Because we are lost. Like Odysseus, we are on our way, but we have lost sight of our direction.

Join us in several cities for an evening featuring insights into the Yearbook for the Future „Beyond 2027“ and the concentrated body of knowledge on the future derived from the latest trend and future research.
