Along with GeneralSeminar, SuperSeminar is one of Near Future Laboratory's sense-making platforms of intensive presentations about the tools that are being deployed from the vanguard of innovation and insight practices.

SuperSeminar provides you with focused intensive capsule presentations from engaged practitioners who can help you understand the wide variety of ways we can make sense of, prepare for, and anticipate change and emergence brought about by the complexities of today’s world.

SuperSeminar gives the engaged learner an opportunity to have an in depth conversation with experts and other attendees, and grow into a network of others who share the same interests, have the same questions, and are looking to bring an area of study into their work practice.

SuperSeminar sessions are deliberately kept small.

These are not large webinars without an opportunity to engage deeply in graduate-level conversations on a topic with thought-leaders and other practitioners who have the same questions, concerns, and desires to elevate their understanding of topics in a rapidly evolving field of play.
