Speaking at TedxZwolle

I'm pleased to announce I am speaking at the Tedx event in Zwolle next month! I will be talking about the Future of Transactions and Shopping.

I'm revamping and cherry picking the best from previous presentations and sharing new themes from recent research. Most recently I have been working on the ideas around solving all the world's most difficult problems (no kidding!) and I am weaving these concepts in to my talk. This will be the first time these ideas are shared outside of a small group. I'm very excited - and I hope you are left inspired and positive about future possibilities. 

If you're in Amsterdam Area March 9-14 - let please meet up! 

Announcing: The Future of Transaction Survey, Year 3

As our economy and technology evolve, the Annual Future of Transactions Survey tracks the way we spend money and the types of money we spend, including questions about Bitcoin, Mobile Payments, virtual and alternative currencies. 

The 2011 and 2012 results were analyzed and thanks to the financial support of Innotribe, produced into two short video scenarios depicting how we will buy and sell in the future, “Flowers for Grandma” and “Fly Me to the Moon,” which was nominated for Most Significant Futures Work of 2012 by the Association of Professional Futurists. Data from the surveys was shared with audiences at SxSW, Web 2.0, Future of Money Summit, and the Digital Money Forum.

The results will be available later this year, and will be combined with the data from the 2011 and 2012 surveys to track the emerging trends in our transaction behaviors.
