of the United Kingdom’s capitol city.
On June 11, 150 futurists will gather in the Celeste Bartos Theater at NYC’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) to learn, connect, and be challenged by incredible thinkers, writers, creators, and operators who uniquely grasp the forces in Commerce that are driving culture forward.
In our packed Summit, we will explore new dynamics of how consumers, brands, and technology interact and how those interactions are expressed in a multiplayer world:
- What can we do to future-proof the customer experience?
- How are creators adapting to this collaborative culture?
- Can brands respond to stay relevant?
- What will new hardware, UI, and UX unlock?
We have a handful of tickets left for General Admission. Grab yours here before we sell out.
The Future is Multiplayer
Culture is participatory: memes, duets, news—what used to be “monoculture” has become a collaborative act. Generative AI allows the collective imagination to run wild; digital experiences are at the center of trying to capture the demand that this creates.
The lines between intent and experience, authentic and artificial, digital and physical, are more blurred than ever, and meaning is completely informed by context—an overwhelming prospect for brand strategists, operators, and marketers.
That’s precisely why we curated an unmatched lineup for this VISIONS Summit: NYC, to help you peer into the future of commerce x culture. We have a stellar program in store. You don’t want to miss it.

Thank you to our incredible partners for trusting our team and making VISIONS Summit: NYC possible.
