Dr. Mark van Rijmenam is a strategic futurist and award-winning keynote speaker, known for living at the sharp edge of tomorrow. He is globally ranked as the #1 futurist and Salesforce recognized him as a leading voice in AI (one of 16 globally).
Having pioneered virtual reality keynotes and TEDx talks, explored AI breakthroughs through a digital twin of himself, and cycled across the harsh Australian outback to raise funds for children’s cancer research, he is on a lifelong mission to empower others with a mindset that doesn’t merely predict the future but actively sculpts it. He is a LinkedIn Top Voice and the author of six books on emerging technologies and he is celebrated for offering a balanced perspective on the future and turning abstract ideas into tangible concepts.
Formerly describing himself as an Optimistic Dystopian, Dr. van Rijmenam has evolved into an Architect of Tomorrow—equipping Fortune 500 companies, governments, and changemakers to navigate the complexities of emerging technologies with vision, resilience, and purpose.
His latest book is Now What? How to Ride the Tsunami of Change, is unlike any business book. It doesn’t just explain the future; it lets you experience it with a sci-fi story from 2051 woven throughout, 280-character TidalShots you can share instantly, and—here’s the game-changer—a 24/7 AI digital twin that coaches you through exponential change. This isn’t another book about technology trends, it’s a practical framework that blends Eastern philosophy, Indigenous wisdom, Western innovation, and Nature’s wisdom to help us navigate a world where AI, robotics, and synthetic biology are converging at breakneck speed.
As a Certified Speaking Professional, Global Speaking Fellow, and 6-time author, he has captivated audiences in over 30 countries, blending academic rigor with cutting-edge innovation. He is the founder of Futurwise, which helps you cut through the noise to obtain more wisdom on fast-changing topics using hyper-personalized insights from trusted sources.
