What makes a perspective worth a place on stage?

Following an open call, speakers submitted ideas and questions for the programme. Three candidates have been selected based on the clarity of their perspective and the relevance of the themes they explore.

The final decision now sits with the audience.

Each candidate approaches the future from a different angle, from art and technology to systems thinking and space.

‍

The Candidates:

Candidate 1 — Jeroen van der Most (MOST)

“Lived stories are more powerful than anything we can create with AI. We should develop and protect them.”

Since 2010, MOST has worked at the intersection of technology, nature, and myth. His practice explores how value and authenticity are defined in a digital context.

An encounter with the $3.2 million Diriyah Star Night raised questions about how art is perceived, valued, and experienced — shaping the direction of his work and the ideas he brings to the stage.

On stage, MOST will tell the true story of how a painting attributed to him sold for $3.2 million in Saudi Arabia — except it wasn't his. What followed was a journey across the Middle East to track it down, claim it, and make it his own. A gripping, personal story told without a single slide.

Candidate 2 — Michal Ziso

“The future will not reward those who resist chaos, but those who learn to work with it.”

Michal is an architect and entrepreneur working across space exploration, design, and cultural foresight. Through the ZISO platform, she explores how extreme environments can inform the way systems on Earth are designed.

Her collaborations with organisations including NASA, ESA, and the United Nations focus on translating insights from space into practical perspectives on life and design.

In Chaotic Optimism, Michal draws on her experience designing for outer space. In a place where resources are finite, failure is visible, and every system must justify its existence, Michal  introduces a new mindset for navigating disruption on Earth. Chaos, she argues, is not the opposite of order. It is the condition from which new possibilities emerge.

Candidate 3 — Kolin Schunck

“The future doesn't fail because of too little innovation. It fails because we measure progress with metrics that are blind to what actually matters.”

Most conversations about disruption begin in Silicon Valley. Kolin’s begin in aviation.

As a strategist at Lufthansa Technik, he develops data-driven products where legacy engineering meets emerging technology. In an industry where change is slow and highly regulated, aviation becomes a practical lens on how transformation happens in reality.

His work focuses on how progress is measured, who benefits from it, and where current systems fall short.

In Measuring the Wrong Things, And Calling It Progress, Kolin argues that the way we measure progress in economies, companies, and our own lives is fundamentally broken. We celebrate how fast things move, but rarely ask what gets destroyed along the way — and what we fail to protect while we're busy celebrating change.
