Amy Webb
Futurist, Professor, Authority on Strategic Foresight, Emerging Technology & Long-Term Risk
Amy Webb is best known for making the future legible, not as speculation, but as a discipline.
A globally recognised futurist, professor of strategic foresight, and founder of the Future Today Institute, Amy specialises in identifying early signals of change long before they reach board agendas or public consciousness. Her work focuses on how emerging technologies, from AI and synthetic biology to sensors, data, and autonomous systems, converge to reshape power, markets, institutions, and human behaviour.
She does not predict trends; she builds evidence-based foresight systems that map how weak signals compound into structural shifts. Her annual Tech Trends Report is widely regarded as one of the most rigorous foresight frameworks used by governments, militaries, Fortune 500 companies, and global institutions.
Amy shows why short-term optimisation blinds organisations to long-term risk, how exponential change hides in plain sight, and why foresight must be embedded into decision-making, capital allocation, and leadership culture, not treated as inspiration.

Why Book Amy
Amy Webb brings rare authority across technology, strategy, and foresight science. She is trusted by senior leaders who recognise that the cost of being surprised now exceeds the cost of preparation. Her work is essential for organisations operating in environments shaped by exponential change, geopolitical instability, and technological acceleration.
Book a speaker who reframes the future as something leaders must systematically prepare for not guess at.
