In the past 18 months, online events and virtual conferences have emerged as a powerful, safe and economically viable alternative to real-life events, and Gerd Leonhard has emerged as a leader in what he calls ‘Keynote Television‘ –  an entirely new way of presenting online that is deeply immersive, engaging and captivating,

Welcome to Digital Conferencing

Led by Futurist, Keynote Speaker, Author and CEO Gerd Leonhard, The Futures Agency curates and co-organises virtual events and online conferences of any size, globally. We offer content and talent-related solutions, as well as practical and technical advice for agencies, brands, corporate clients, governments, organisations and individuals. We can put together entire programs for you, or we can take your existing event concepts and convert them to online formats, or we can just do remote keynotes for you. Furthermore, we also work with many leading speaking agencies around the world to jointly explore and grow this new ecosystem.

We select and hire amazing keynote speakers, panellists and hosts, and we can integrate your own speakers and executives, as well. We can set up your event using the most suitable platform (such as zoom, Vimeo, Streamyard,  goto meeting, or webinar jams etc),  and we can run the entire event for you, including hosting, moderation and interactions with the participants.

BOOKING INQUIRY Reasons & Facts

Challenges & Context

The challenges for traditional conferences:

  • Rising health concerns and increasing fear of epidemics are a certainty (the COVID-19 threat will not end soon enough, and it will not be the last one, either)
  • Mandatory and global carbon taxes for airline tickets and many other forms of travel look pretty much inevitable (for more, read this and this (NYT)
  • Increased corporate travel restrictions and the overall rise of ‘flight-shaming‘ is just a beginning of a huge mind shift that’s emerging globally
  • Unforeseeable geopolitical conflicts – a kind of permanent VUCA – will cause further travel-weariness

And at the same time:

  • Meeting your team members, partners and clients has never been more important, and exchanging ideas and perspectives is mission-critical in times of great change
  • 9 billion people will be online in 2030 – and they won’t all travel to conferences like we did (until now)
  • Approx. 50% of these 9 Billion people will have high-speed internet or 4G/5G access, and their barrier of entry to doing everything online will shrink dramatically
  • Technological leaps in online meeting technologies can be expected in the near future (AR/VR/MR, holograms, magic leap, HoloLens etc)

  • The more we meet virtually, the more important real-life events become.
