See the Future to Design Better Futures

Tackling challenges like reinventing healthcare, finding solutions to climate change, redesigning our education system or rebuilding communities after the pandemic can feel insurmountable.

We need breakthrough solutions and innovative processes to get us there. Standard planning and visioning practices will not get us to the solutions we need. A FutureWave Epiphany Lab event invites us to think and design differently by starting the conversation from the FUTURE.
