The highly anticipated Bundaberg Region Futures Forum is fast approaching, with only a few days left to secure a spot at the inaugural event.
Coming up next week on Thursday 25 July at the Bundaberg Multiplex Sport and Convention Centre, the Futures Forum is set to be an unmissable opportunity for local businesses and community members to gain valuable insights into the future of the Bundaberg region.
Chris Riddell, one of Australia’s most sought-after futurists and strategists will be a keynote speaker at next week’s event.
Regularly featured for his thought leadership on Channel 10’s The Project and 7’s The Morning Show, Riddell has worked with some of the world’s biggest and most influential brands and businesses including Jaguar Land Rover, Facebook, Australian Federal Police and ebay.
Known for his wildly entertaining and immersive presentations, Riddell expertly illustrates emerging trends, and consumer patterns and behaviours, inspiring and captivating audiences.
Riddell expressed his enthusiasm about his upcoming engagement in the sunshine state.
“I am very excited to be visiting the Bundaberg region next week – it’s an honour to engage with such a dynamic community and discuss the future prospects which lie ahead,” he said.
Riddell emphasised that the Futures Forum is a chance to get a glimpse into the future, as described by some of the nation’s best thought leaders, and to contribute to the collective vision of the Bundaberg region’s prosperity.
“If you’re passionate about learning about the future of the Bundaberg Region, the Futures Forum is where you need to be,” he said.
Acknowledging the rapidly changing and disruptive business environment of 2024, Riddell reiterated the abundance of opportunities that lie within the chaos.
“There’s never been a more monumental time to be a consumer, a business, a parent, a leader, a human… than right now,” he said.
“This is the beginning of something brilliant – a new breed of transformational resilience that will genuinely enhance our global society for generations.”
Riddell’s keynote will explore what business will look like beyond 2030, delving into the future customers’ behaviours, expectations and mindsets.
Explaining the ‘how’ and ‘why,’ Riddell’s thought-provoking presentation will discuss the importance of the Bundaberg region, it’s businesses and its community to adopt a re-framed mindset and innovative thinking to be ready for what’s to come.
“Yes, the future will be different. But yes, the future will also be amazing,” he said.
“It’s not going to be okay… it’s going to be far better than okay.”
