Figuring out the future, together.
The year 2025, it turns out, is the year many experts predict may be a tipping point that ushers in a new era of innovation for our world. Within approximately 10 years, the most disruptive emerging technologies of our modern era, now in their infancy, will be “ready for prime time” and will change society, and how we define ourselves, in unimaginable ways. Are we ready for this seismic shift that will happen in the blink of an eye? Are we aware of (and prepared for) the challenges and opportunities that are ahead?
Tech 2025 (launched in 2017) is a learning platform and innovation community for professionals and organizations to learn about (and prepare for) the accelerating global disruption that will happen over the next 5 years, due to emerging technologies like AI, Machine Learning, VR/AR/XR, Driverless Vehicles, Robot Automation, 3D Printing, Biotech, Space Tech, Drones, Internet of Things, Blockchain, and Sustainable Technologies. In addition to educating professionals about these technologies that are evolving quicker than we can fully understand them, we facilitate engaging live events like think tanks, webinars, workshops and tech tours on the impact of these technologies on global business and the future of work based on the latest news, trends, and research presented by industry thought-leaders and rising talent. And we provide innovative solutions for companies that need to upskill a diverse workforce and advisory on deploying technologies and campaigns. Since our launch, we’ve produced over 100 events that have informed and connected thousands of professionals across industries. Tech 2025 is for anyone who wants to understand how to effectively implement emerging technologies, how to prepare for the near-future, and how to actively participate in developing innovative solutions that will carry us into the NEW, post-pandemic future.

Testimonials
"Attending this event kind of made it an even more real and tangible "concern." I left the building and I was like.... damn! this is really happening! It's not just one of my favorite sci-fi themes anymore , or one of my favorite science blogs topic. AI is simply real history unfolding before our eyes. Kind of freaky and exciting!"
Nadir Simon | Co-Founder, Artistic Director, Composer, Kaazba Music
Testimonials
"Visionary and highly accessible--presenting context, meaningful scenarios, and opportunities for impactful strategy!"
Douglas Schapero | President, InterEmics
Testimonials
"The last year and a half I’ve undergone a career makeover. While I was already working in tech, Tech 2025 was a critical part of my transition to working on an emerging technology such as blockchain. I’ve learned so much from the other members of the community, and gained amazing opportunities to learn, share, and grow. In the last 6 months alone I've gotten an exciting job at OpenLaw, spoke about bias in AI at a conference, featured on Funny As Tech, and wrote articles of my own. I wouldn’t have been able to make this transition without Tech 2025 and the amazing community."
Anne T. Griffin | Lead Product Manager, OpenLaw
Testimonials
"I've attended three of your events so far and find them fascinating. What you are doing is great and people should be paying attention. I always leave with a bigger worldview than when I arrived and thinking differently. Everyone should be aware of this."

New Employee Engagement Programs
In these pandemic times, the epic challenges businesses face today include remote workforce continuity and culture, technology upskilling and reskilling, and keeping up with the pace of innovation (which has increased exponentially due to the pandemic, shocking even the most well-prepared organizations). But there is another crippling crisis companies face, bubbling beneath the surface of every interaction and initiative — employees who feel unprepared for (and often overwhelmed by) the post-pandemic, technological future.
We’re excited to announce our new employee engagement programs developed to break down social distancing silos, strengthen company culture, and teach employees about emerging technologies through real-world problem-solving. Program topics include: biotech, simulation tech, climate tech, automation, 2025 forecasts and jobs of the future. We’re excited to bring the power of our unique engagement to the remote workforce!
