Converge

### **About the talk**

Luddites, Futurists, and the Systems of Tomorrow

The framing of conversations about the future shapes its direction. By recognizing that, we can take a leadership role in those conversations, directing our industry toward a future we want to see. John Voss will take a historical view—from the Industrial Revolution to the Italian Futurists—to demonstrate how the conversations we’re having today are centuries in the making.
