In other words: If a picture is worth a thousand words, POP FUTURE asks us: How can we likewise find ways to communicate an entire market research report or training manual’s worth of content in just minutes? David Thomas, PhD, executive director of online programs at the University of Denver, and co-founder of Professors at Play, is helping provide learning content and educational programming.

“New technologies, gadgets, and innovations are every bit as much a topic of public fascination and conversation now as movies, TV, video games, and music,” explains award-winning futurist and POP FUTURE creator Scott Steinberg. “As futurist thinking continues to become more approachable and appealing to everyday audiences, so too should the learning and communications tools that we use to help put future-focused topics in context. Who says that market research reports or business presentations need to be dry and boring? In the same way that musicians and movie stars use pop culture references to help get messages across more concisely and clearly, POP FUTURE challenges business leaders to put emerging trends and innovations in a clearer, more approachable context.”
