Global Futurist and Business Forecaster Jack Uldrich to Keynote a Series of Entrepreneurship and Economic Development …

Acclaimed global futurist, best-selling author and business forecaster Jack Uldrich has been selected to deliver closing keynote addresses at the 2012 Central Pennsylvania Entrepreneurship Conference and the Indiana Economic Development Association's Annual Meeting. In addition to covering future trends in information technology, mobile computing, social networking, "Big Data," biotechnology, nanotechnology, robotics and 3D printing, he will also discuss the need for "unlearning."

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 20, 2012

The title of Uldrichs presentations will be "The Future Demands Unlearning" and the material presented will be based on a combination of his latest book, "Foresight 2020: A Futurist Explores the Trends Transforming Tomorrow" as well as his 2011 best-seller, "Higher Unlearning: 39 Post-Requisite Lessons for Achieving a Successful Future." The presentation, which will cover trends in information and communication technologies, robotics, nanotechnology, biotechnology, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, business analytics, and "crowd-sourcing" is designed to provide entrepreneurs, community leaders and senior economic development officials a solid foundation upon which they can create their own successful futures. An overview of some of Uldrichs ideas on information technologies can be found in this article, 10 Future Mobile Trends for CIOs to Consider Today.

Uldrich will also provide an overview of how technological change is upending long-standing entrepreneurial and economic development models and discuss why future trends will demand unlearning. Uldrich, who has been hailed as "America's Chief Unlearning Officer" and is the author of Higher Unlearning: 39 Post-Requisite Lessons for Achieving a Successful Future, will conclude his talk by reviewing the consequences of not embracing the concept of unlearning. Throughout his talk, Uldrich will use vivid analogies and memorable stories, drawn from a wide spectrum of industries, to ensure his message of change "sticks" with his audience. A sample of some Uldrichs ideas on the future of manufacturing can be found in this chapter from his new book, Foresight 2020.

In the past year, Uldrich has addressed hundreds of business and trade groups from around the world, including delivering customized keynote presentations to The Chief Learning Officers Summit, PepsiCo, Southern Company, United Healthcare, Cisco, IBM, WiPro, The California Agriculture Summit, Growmark, Parsons Brinckerhoff, various YPO and WPO groups, and General Electric.
