Campaigners call for urgent meeting with mayor over future of historic cinema

Posted: at 12:44 pm

Joe Anderson claimed the Futurist on Lime Street would be too expensive to save

Campaigners fighting to save a derelict cinema have called for an urgent meeting with the Mayor of Liverpool - after he claimed the building would be too expensive to save.

Mayor Joe Anderson told the ECHO earlier this week that the historic Futurist cinema on Lime Street would not be part of a regeneration masterplan for the area.

Futurist campaign leader Lesley Mullally launched the Save the Futurist campaign in September 2012.

She raised more than 1600 signatures on a petition to save the faade and enlisted the support of the mayor, who promised he would do everything he could to retain the unique frontage.

She said: "Weve had an amazing response from Liverpool people, especially creative businesses, who have given their time for free to come up with alternatives to demolition.

"Weve had incredible contributions from architects, artists, urban designers, engineers and digital media firms who believe the front of this building can still be saved and must be saved!"

She said she has written to Mayor Anderson calling for an urgent meeting with the building's owners Neptune.

The cinema has been empty since it closed in 1982.

Now campaigners have enlisted the help of local planning and digital media specialists to come up with an alternative vision for the building.

The future is coming faster than ever, futurist tells Economic Club of Grand Rapids

Posted: at 7:40 am

GRAND RAPIDS, MI Futurist James Canton was being more than a proud grandfather when he showed the Economic Club of Grand Rapids a photo of a toddler holding a smartphone to his ear.

This is your new customer, Canton told the gathering at the Imperial Ballroom at the J.W. Marriott Hotel at a luncheon meeting on Monday, March 24. He cant read, but he can talk.

The future is coming faster than ever for most businesses, said Canton, the CEO and chairman of the Institute for Global Futures.

And that trend wont slow down or even catch its breath as the worlds population continues to grow and live longer, technology continues to become cheaper and innovators are rewarded, Canton said.

What the Baby Boomers are going to spend a dollar on, the Millennials are going to spend a dime, Canton said, pointing to the falling costs of long-distance telephone calls.

Whos shaping your future? Are you? Canton asked. If you dont have a future ready plan three or four years out, someone else is shaping your future.

To become future ready, Canton said companies need to be focused on their customers behavior and innovators in other industries. If youre in banking, talk to someone in healthcare. If youre in healthcare, talk to someone in video games.

Canton, a former executive with Apple Computer and an advisor to three White House administrations, also has advised more than 100 companies. The Economist recently recognized him as one of the worlds leading futurists.

He also is a frequent guest commentator on CNN, CNBC, Fox, PBS, ABC and business publications. He was named the Digital Guru by CNN and Dr. Future by Yahoo.

The Times & Technology, They are a-Changing: Global Futurist Jack Uldrich to Keynote American Technical Education …

Posted: at 7:40 am

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) March 25, 2014

Following numerous keynote speeches around the world, including the Ohio Educational Technology Conference in February, Jack Uldrich, global futurist, and best-selling author, will kick off the ATEA conference on March 26th with his keynote "Why Future Trends in Technical Education Demand Unlearning."

Hosted by Dunwoody College of Technology, postsecondary technical educators will convene in St. Paul from March 26-28, for the 51st American Technical Education Association (ATEA) Conference. The conference aims to provide various opportunities for technical educators, administrators and business partners to tackle the ever-changing opportunities and challenges to meet workforce needs.

Uldrichs keynote presentation will address many of the challenges ATEA members face through the concept of unlearning. As well as highlight how they can, and should, begin embracing the coming technological trends.

"Every year, the higher education landscape becomes more complex to navigate, both for students and providers," said Sandra Krebsbach, ATEA executive director. "The conference is one of the best opportunities in the country for educators and employers to meet and discuss these challenges and share best practices."

Uldrich will discuss best practices for adopting the coming technological changes and share insights from his best-selling book, "Higher Unlearning: 39 Post Requisite Lessons for Achieving a Successful Future," and his latest book, "Foresight 2020: A Futurist Explores the Trends Transforming Tomorrow." Uldrich will also touch on why these future trends will require unlearning, and address how these technological changes are upending long-standing educational and funding mechanisms.

The keynote is designed to provide ATEA education innovators a solid and thought-provoking foundation upon which to conduct future strategic planning. An overview of many of the coming changes can be found in this article: 10 Quotations on the Future of Higher Education.

Uldrich's addresses have been said to be, "inspiring, thought provoking, motivational, and practical all at once." By infusing a "huge dose of practicality," drawn from a wide spectrum of industries outside the educational establishment, Uldrich will ensure his message of unlearning "sticks" with his ATEA audience. A sample of some his ideas on the future of education can be found in this article, The Future of Higher Education: A Cloudy Forecast.

Celebrated as a national and international speaker and scholar, Uldrichs most recent keynotes have been delivered to the American Medical Association, TEXPERS, the Idaho Technology Council, Wells Fargo, the Allan P. Kirby Lecture Series at Wilkes University and The Million Dollar Round Table in Kuala Lumpur.

Some of Uldrichs other clients include General Electric, IBM, Cisco, United Healthcare, PepsiCo, Verizon Wireless, General Mills, the Young Presidents Organization (YPO), Pfizer, Healthcare Association of New York, Southern Company, St. Jude Medical, Dressbarn, AG Schering, Imation, Lockheed Martin, Fairview Hospitals, Touchstone Energy, The Insurance Service Organization, and hundreds more.
