Futures Friends 333
Hey, Vienna friends! Join us for an insightful morning and inspiring conversations around hopeful futures.
Futures Friends 333 is a global format where people across industries share trends, signals, and forward-looking ideas in a simple format: 3 ideas, 3 minutes, 3 slides.
It’s fast-paced - with up to 10 speakers - highly engaging, and consistently sells out.
Meet the people taking the stage on 15 October:
→ Raluca Simiuc — building communities around independent food, design and lifestyle brands with OTOTO
→ Philipp Hieslmair — making brands click through stories, aesthetics and, apparently, a cheeky Greek grandmother over at yiayia and friends
→ Ana Sampaio Barros — photographer, architect and founder of Matriarchive, a collective of 40+ women shaping new spaces for creativity
→ Rita Cidre — helping brands navigate AI search while keeping marketing human at Semrush
→ Kenzo Biswas — exploring how AI is changing the way we behave, interact with technology and navigate everyday life.
→ Verena Kuen — helping organisations spot what’s emerging and turn it into something they can actually build
→ Marc Busch — exploring how UX research can create impact in the age of AI at BUSCH LABS
→ Sylvie Ritt Sp. — exploring longevity, reinvention and what longer lives might mean for how we work and live
→ Gilbert Langner-Schibranji — helping brands and leaders rethink strategy, positioning and communication
Whether you're curious about what's next or want to hang out with like-minded people, this event is for you.
No pressure, just good vibes and great company.
