Leaders 21: Surviving the Future
Leaders 21 · Tuesday, September 1 · Mendel’s Greenhouse, Brno
*Doors open at 17:02 and the official program begins at 17:32*
How do we prepare ourselves and society for a future we can’t predict?
The future isn't coming. It's already changing how we work, create, build businesses, raise families, make decisions and live together.
AI, demographic change, new technologies, changing ways of working and global uncertainty are reshaping the world around us. But instead of trying to predict exactly what comes next, Surviving the Future asks a different question:
How can we become better prepared for whatever comes next?
For one evening, we're bringing together a small group of people who see the future from very different angles: science, AI, entrepreneurship, communication and community.
There won't be traditional presentations or long speeches. Instead, we'll have open, interactive roundtable conversations between the featured voices and the people in the room.
And then we'll take it one step further.
The Experiment Lab
At the end of the evening, you'll choose one idea, question or insight from the conversations and turn it into a simple 30-day experiment — something you can actually try in your own life, work or community.
Because the goal isn't simply to talk about the future. It's to leave better prepared to shape it.
The people shaping the conversation
We're intentionally keeping the group small: a handful of voices from very different fields, with more to be announced soon.
