The FutureCast series is a new way to track some of IFTF's research-in-progress and join the behind-the-scenes conversations that help shape our forecasts in global trends, technology, innovation, health, and sustainability. You can pose your own questions to our guest experts or just listen in to hear how others are thinking about important emerging signals. These open conversations will be recorded and made available as podcasts on the Future Now blog.
