Radical Next: Reclaiming your Humanity in a Post-Human World
What’s coming next is radically different.
As humans merge ever more deeply with technologies that seem to be advancing impossibly fast, we have entered a new era—the Age of Acceleration—that will call our very humanity into question. Are you ready for what comes next?
With transformative technologies like artificial intelligence, extended realities, and quantum computing increasingly blurring the boundaries between human and machine, organic and synthetic, reality and virtuality, we find ourselves at a crossroads of history, contemplating:
Who am I? What is real?
And what does it mean to be human in this new reality?

THE KEYNOTE
CHANGE HAS A PATTERN
Every powerful new technology is like a jetpack. It promises new heights, and it scares you about where it might take you. Once everyone has one, not having one is how you get left behind. But owning it isn't the point, and neither is using it. Steering it is.
In Change Has a Pattern, anthropologist and futurist Sam Rad shows audiences the cycle every big change follows, why the new tools aren't paying off yet, and the four moves that turn the corner. The pattern has repeated through five thousand years of recorded history, which is why the message works in any industry and lands with any room: it is universal, and above all, human.
In times of radical disruption there is no roadmap, and what got you here won't get you there. The natural reaction is to brace. Sam uses history, and a clear look at what's coming, to make the change feel less daunting. She hands the room the moves to let go of the old way, reset on the real goal, and use the new tools for expansion instead of more of the same.
People don't just walk out ready for what's next. They walk out wanting it.
