“It seems to me that the world needs unconventional solutions to its many problems. I really value spending time with heterodox thinkers. One of the best ways to make yourself more independently minded is to spend time with unconventional thinkers, Dan is such a thinker. Hearing people say surprising things encourages you to, and to think of more.

“I’ve had the privilege of working with Dan across a range of disciplines, from his work as a first class creative and brand thinker, to his deep environmental impact work, inspirational public speaking, and group facilitation. And I can say without hesitation that Dan is one of the most profound and authentic thinkers of today. He represents a leading edge of change at the intersection of climate, culture, and creativity and I am deeply indebted to his leadership and the compass he provides for the many of us who are struggling to navigate the messiness of doing business, while working saving our wonderous home planet.”

Keynotes

Keynote by Dan Burgess:

No Passengers - We Are All Crew

Our fate is common, it has to be everybody or nobody. Regenerative Futures will require participation from all of us, becoming active participants in service of life onboard Spaceship Earth.

This inspiring talk shows how planetary health and human health are intimately entangled. It takes us on a journey through the entangled web of life on Spaceship Earth to help us see that we are all interconnected and interdependent and therefore either contributing to the health of the planet or to its demise.

Keynote by Dan Burgess:

Brand Activism in a time of crisis

The most iconic brands have always had an activist spirit, standing up for critical human and planetary issues way bigger than their own commercial purpose. In recent years we have seen a decline in Brand Activism at a time when it is needed more than ever.

This talk walks us through a range of Brand Activism approaches and examples and invites us into the context, needs and opportunities today. If we want a more beautiful and peaceful world for our children - Brands must step up.

Keynote by Dan Burgess:

The Climate crisis is a relationship crisis

From the leading edges of science to indigenous wisdom, we are beginning to understand again that humans are not separate from nature - we are nature. 

This talk explains the separation logic of the last few hundred years that has led to the consequence of the Polycrises. It focuses especially on the impacts of the dominant stories we have been carrying in our modern culture and how they shape how we relate to life around us. It asks: What if stories are powerful technologies for change and how might we carry different stories that can regenerate the world ?
