Ask Me Anything with Roman Krznaric

About the Session:

Join us for an engaging conversation as we explore the key ideas behind Roman’s latest book and delve into meaningful discussions about futures thinking and hope in history. Roman would also like to invite participants to think about the question:  "Where do you see hope in history?"

• We’ll start by welcoming everyone with an interactive check-in question to set the stage. Roman will then share the inspiration behind his book, its connection to futures thinking, and the key messages he wants to highlight.

• The session will include an open Ask Me Anything segment, allowing you to engage directly with Roman in a free-flowing conversation. Following this, we’ll break into smaller groups for discussions.

• To wrap up, we’ll highlight key takeaways and share next steps. For those who’d like to stay longer, Roman will join an informal after-hours chat to keep the discussion going.

Don't miss this rich mix of learning, dialogue, and connection event.
