Why you should be there

Imagine companies not only thinking about the next quarter but envisioning a future that lasts for decades, even centuries. Picture a place where new ideas and creativity flourish because we're no longer confined to achieving goals every three months. It's not a wild dream; it's a call to join, an invitation to be part of a group of people forging a new path.

Discover it at the Future Generations Conference – where we collectively contemplate the future with one simple question: how do you want to leave the world? More than 50 esteemed speakers inspire with talks on transforming short-term thinking into long-term vision. And how to ensure 'Health and Wellbeing for Future Generations'

Our lineup of over 50 speakers includes visionaries, thought leaders, policy makers, and pioneers who have successfully transitioned from short-term thinking to creating a sustainable, future-oriented vision. Explore them further on this page!

Participate in various workshops in our 'Connection Lab,' a screen-free space focused entirely on experience. Choose a workshop on Deep Time or opt for an interactive session on fostering cross-pollination. Discover our entire program!

Your ticket also grants access to culture. Enjoy STUK's Arts & Science program with an installation from Playfield and music performances by Mika Oki. Or consider the dance performance "LIMP": a show featuring a one-legged dancer, blending technology, robots, and specially developed artificial intelligence (AI).
