…Not a Conference but a Transformative Experience - AND an invitation!
The Good Future Summit is an invitation to step away from the noise and immerse yourself in a profoundly transformative two-day experience, designed for the 'architects of tomorrow'. It is a carefully curated gathering of 500 future-focused leaders, creators and artists, technologists, scientists, futurists and public thinkers who feel the urgent call to co-create a future worthy of humanity and our planet.
This gathering is a living blueprint for possibilities, where ideas are not just presented, but experienced and explored through embodied wisdom and conscious dialogue. It is a space where the latest scientific and technological advances meet the ancestral rhythms of music, cinema, dance, and cultural exchange. It is not a forum for abstract debate, but a laboratory for tangible action. It is not a mere networking event or exchange, but an opportunity to forge deep connections based on a shared purpose: To build The Good Future.
We must be the architects of the future, not its victims
- Buckminster Fuller
This summit embodies that call, providing the environment, the tools, and the community to actively design and build that future.
The Opportunity: A Call to Action at A Critical Moment
We find ourselves at a historic inflection point. The convergence of exponential technological leaps, the quickly accelerating climate emergency, and a growing geopolitical fragmentation demands far more than incremental change. It calls for a completely new paradigm, a recalibration of our priorities, and a renewed commitment to collective action. The urgency is here, and it's up to us to respond today, or not.
Technological DOMINATION
The advent of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), genetic engineering, and quantum computing is redefining the foundations of our society. These tools hold unprecedented potential for both amazing progress and catastrophic peril. The question is no longer what we can create, but why we create it and for whom. We must consciously choose how these technologies will serve to augment our humanity, rather than diminish it.
The Ecological Crisis
The 2020s are set to witness the fastest economic transition in history. This transformation is driven by the inescapable need to achieve zero natural loss, build sustainable food systems, implement zero-carbon energy, and develop circular economies. Ignoring this imperative is not an option; it is a responsibility that will define our generation's legacy. It's collaborate or perish (to quote Antonio Guterrez).
Social Fragmentation
Growing inequality, social-media fuelled polarization, and the fracturing of public discourse threaten the cohesion of our communities, and the future of democracy. New models of collaboration, governance, and economic thinking that prioritize collective well-being over short-term individual gain are urgently required. A new economic logic is emerging: People, Planet, Purpose, Peace and Prosperity.
The time has come to move from passive observation to active co-creation. The Good Future Summit is born from this urgency, to serve as a catalyst for forging the solutions we need.
THE Founders: The Synergy of a Futurist and a Humanist
The summit is born from the combined vision of two renowned thinkers who share the conviction that traditional conferences mostly fail to generate lasting change. Gerd and Pedro's synergy creates a unique foundation that balances visionary foresight with a profound understanding of what it means to be -and remain- human.
Gerd Leonhard | The Futurist
Gerd is a globally acclaimed futurist, author, and filmmaker with over 20 years of experience advising leaders on the future of work, technology, and humanity. He brings a critical analysis and a strategic perspective on the forces shaping our tomorrow, always with a focus on preserving our essential human values.
"We are at a point where technology can either enhance our humanity or diminish it. The choice is ours, and we must make it consciously. That requires a new kind of conversation."
"Embrace technology - but don't become it"
"We don't just need better tools - we also need better TELOS"
Pedro Loupa | The Humanist
Pedro is a leading expert in human-centric ecosystems, conscious leadership, and well-being. His work focuses on mental health as a "Sacred Infrastructure," the foundation upon which all other progress must be built. He brings a deep understanding of human dynamics, emotional intelligence, and the study of consciousness and the need to create systems that nurture rather than deplete.
"The greatest challenges we face cannot be solved by logic alone. They require intuition, empathy, and a deep connection with ourselves and with others. That is the journey we will facilitate."

A recent key realization I wanted to share today: it is no longer about 'left or right' in politics, nor is it about 'doomer or boomer' in technology or AI - it's about a GOOD FUTURE or a FUTURE. That is our choice. #thegoodfuture pic.twitter.com/pwAWscdwsP— Gerd Leonhard (@gleonhard) June 5, 2025

The Concept and Framework: Navigating the Complexity of the Future
The Summit's exploration is guided by two powerful and interconnected frameworks that provide a common language for understanding and shaping the future: the 5Ps & the 4 Revolutions. They are not mere theories, but practical tools for diagnosis, dialogue, and design.
The 5 Ps: The Pillars of a Good Future
This framework ensures a holistic approach to reimagining our future, based on interconnected human experiences and planetary well-being.
PEOPLE
Centering human connection, well-being, and development as the foundation of all progress.
PLANET
Honoring our ecological interdependence and our regenerative responsibility.
PURPOSE
Aligning our actions with a deeper meaning that transcends short-term gains.
PROSPERITY
Creating abundance that is equitably shared and sustainably generated.
PEACE
Cultivating harmony within ourselves, in our communities, and in our global society.
The 4 Revolutions: The Tides of Change
GEOPOLitiCAL
The new world order: Multi-polar and interdependent. Collaborate or Perish!
DIGITAl (AI)
Harnessing science and technology for human flourishing, not just for economic advances
SUSTAINABLE
Green, circular and sustainable EVERYTHING: Energy, Industry, Transportation, Water, Food…
PURPOSE and HUMANITY
Reconnecting with our essential human values and skills in an increasingly technological world.
The Experience: Immersion, Co-creation, and Embodied Wisdom
The summit is meticulously designed to move participants beyond passive consumption and mere listening toward active, embodied co-creation. Every element of the event serves this journey of transformation.
Nature as Teacher
The experience unfolds in a carefully selected natural environment, leveraging its proven power to enhance creativity, reduce stress, and foster deep connection. The seing is not a backdrop, but an active participant in our collective journey.
Facilitated Journeys
We combine powerful keynotes, talks and presentations with interactive workshops, innovation labs, and moderated dialogues. These sessions are designed to cultivate uniquely human skills that technology cannot replicate: intuition, imagination, empathy, compassion, critical thinking, and the tacit wisdom that comes from lived experience.
Active Co-creation
The summit's participants are not just an audience; they are collaborators. We will work together in real-time to prototype solutions to real-world challenges, build "ecosystems of collaboration," and arrive at a collective "Good Future Manifesto" to be published after the event.
Cultural and Artistic Integration
Music, cinema, dance, and mindfulness practices are woven into the speaking program and the overall experience, serving as powerful vehicles for insight, connection, and inspiration, generating penny-drop moments and allowing the participants to discover new ways of designing their preferred future.
Why We Are Different: A Catalyst for a New HUMAN Renaissance
The Good Future Summit represents a bold departure from the conventional. It is designed to catalyze a new "Re-Enlightenment"—a paradigm that integrates reason with intuition, individual rights with collective responsibility, and technological progress with ecological wisdom.
We are moving FROM:
  • Short-term profit maximization
  • Antagonistic and polarized political debate
  • Technology without purpose, driven only by novelty
  • Individualism at the expense of the community
  • Narratives of crisis and despair
Towards a future based on:
  • Long-term regenerative value
  • Collaborative and future-ready governance
  • Conscious and purpose-driven innovation
  • Balanced individual and collective nourishing
  • Hope as a practice, rooted in action
The Good Future Summit is a space for transformative growth, not just information transfer or intellectual exploration
Impact and Legacy: Seeding a Movement
The impact of the summit will extend far beyond the two-day event. Our goal is to create a lasting legacy by investing in people, ideas, and networks.
A Collective Manifesto
The summit will culminate in the creation of the "Good Future Manifesto," a powerfukl document that captures our shared vision and commitments, designed to inspire a broader movement.
A Global Network of Ambassadors
Participants will leave as part of a powerful, ongoing community of practice, equipped with the tools, strategies, and relationships to implement change in their respective fields.
Ecosystems of Collaboration
The alliances forged during the summit will launch real-world projects and initiatives that will continue to evolve, turning dialogue into measurable impact.
