K D Adamson is a leading Futurist, global keynote speaker, author and presenter. She warns that the unrelenting focus on technology is a long-running misdirection perpetrated by a ‘Tomorrow Factory’ which is disempowering people and businesses, reducing us to passive, disenfranchised consumers of a technology-defined future at a crucial turning point in our history

Challenging the exponential gospel of technology as saviour which has made the future the most elitist discussion on the planet she argues that on a range of critical measures far from accelerating things are actually slowing down and that our global system is in imminent danger of stalling. She aims to empower a global community increasingly dissatisfied with the second-hand ‘McFuture’ being served up, equipping societies with the information, alternatives and vision that they need to reframe and reclaim it both individually and collectively.

The CEO of Ulterior Futures and a member of The Futures Agency her performances have been described as ‘a TED talk on steroids’, and her client list includes major global brands, multi-nationals, banks, governments, NGOs, non-profits, charitable foundations, tech companies and start-ups, and she acts as an advisor to TV and Film.
