Foresight Conference 2017, organised by the Centre for Strategic Futures (CSF) in Singapore, centres on the topic of “The Future of Identities and Aspirations”, and will be held on the 20th and 21st of July 2017. This is CSF’s fourth iteration of this event, which brings together thinkers from different backgrounds and disciplines to explore emerging issues of global significance. In previous conferences, we have looked at the future of Asia, the future of growth, governance, and power, and the future of global cities. Like the previous conferences, the 2017 conference hopes to explore its topic not through the lens of any particular discipline, but by navigating with a set of tools drawn from diverse sources, from poets to philosophers to policy-makers. Where the various specialised ways of understanding the world come together, we hope for richness and fecundity available to no single discipline.
