WOMEN LEADING THE NEW ECONOMY
The Future Festival is the premiere event for women of color change makers leading economic transformation in established and emerging markets globally.
The Future of Industries in Emerging Markets
A global convening of the world’s most influential and forward-thinking women in business, technology, government, media, entertainment, sports, fashion, music, and various other industries, the Future Festival serves as a platform to engage in thought-provoking discussions centered on digital transformation and the future of industries in emerging economies like Haiti.
"The entire world has entered into an era of digital transformation, where traditional industries are being disrupted by new technologies. By taking advantage of this (r)evolution, we have an opportunity to radically shift the latent paradigms in Emerging Markets like Haiti, and leapfrog into a more prosperous future.”
- Shaïna Silva, Founder #SHE_BUILDS Global Initiative
Connecting the Global Diaspora
By activating ecosystem builders representing various organizations across the globe, the festival serves as a bridge that connects people of color from across the global diaspora who are making an impact through business, technology, art, and culture.
