Dr. Parag Khanna is a leading global strategy advisor, world traveler, and bestselling author. He is the Founder & CEO of Climate Alpha, an AI-powered analytics platform that forecasts asset values to future-proof global real estate, and Founder & Managing Partner of FutureMap, a data and scenario-based strategic advisory firm. Khanna is the bestselling author of MOVE: Where People are Going for a Better Future, which was preceded by The Future is Asian: Commerce, Conflict & Culture in the 21st Century. He has written or co-authored five additional books, and his books have been translated into more than twenty languages. Khanna was named one of Esquire’s “75 Most Influential People of the 21st Century,” and featured in WIRED magazine’s “Smart List.”

Using stunning maps and visuals, Khanna’s talk will address mobility as a recurring feature of human civilization. As climate changes, economies collapse, governments destabilize, and technology disrupts, Khanna forecasts a new age of mass migrations. He will discuss the deep trends shaping the most likely scenarios for the future of humanity’s ever-changing map.
