The future is not a fixed destination; it’s something we actively shape. In this keynote, Yvette Montero Salvatico explores how anticipatory thinking and scenario-based sensemaking can empower institutions and communities to move from crisis response to purposeful, visionary action. Drawing from lived practice, she will illustrate how to spot emerging signals, challenge assumptions, and build futures that reflect our highest values—not just our immediate pressures. Participants will leave with renewed clarity and confidence, and practical strategies for navigating complexity together while cultivating the agency required to cocreate what comes next.
