A World in Transistion: A Pearl Social Salon
Signals: A Salon on the World Taking Shape After 2025
The G7 summit has been a great lens through which we can see the early signals of a world in transition—one that is more fragmented, more technologically advanced, more climate-stressed, and more morally contested than anything we have ever known. The next 20 years will not be an extension of the last 20; they will be something entirely new.
In this salon, we’ll examine the most striking headlines from the past year to discuss the present from a macroscopic view and through sharp questions. Together, we’ll trace how geopolitics rewired itself in a single year, how artificial intelligence moved from novelty to infrastructure, how climate crossed from crisis to daily catastrophe, how a space economy was born, and how, despite gaining significant momentum, the struggle for gender equality still demands urgent attention
This is a collective act of sense-making. We’ll discuss the assumptions buried inside each headline, debate what these signals mean for the decades ahead, and ask what they demand of us.
Come with your sharpest opinions and expect our conversation to connect dots, challenge narratives, and leave you with a better conceptual map of the world that’s already arriving.
Note: Reservations include digital and printed discussion notes to guide our conversation.
