This much is true: we are all going to live the rest of our lives in the future. But, how can we know what that tomorrow will look like? Where should we focus our efforts today?
 
Martin, CEO and Managing Partner of SIR, a strategic management consulting firm, will share the key trends impacting cities and towns of all sizes across the nation in an engaging, entertaining and informative keynote presentation. Rather than predict the future, Martin will lay out the future we already know — the demographic, societal and cultural shifts already underway. He’ll equip attendees with a unique lens to understand these trends and help everyone think like a futurist. Fast-paced and filled with practical action steps, The Future of Cities presentation will help you be better positioned to succeed today and tomorrow.
