Futurist Thomas Frey
As a past member of the Triple Nine Society (High IQ society, over 99.9 percentile) and starter of 17 businesses and helper of the formation of hundreds more, Thomas Frey is the Keynote Speaker you won't want to miss.
As Thomas prepares for the keynote he shares, "Humans are the only creatures we know who have the capacity to both think about and plan for the future. This can be very useful but our brains don't make it easy. And the key thing to understand is that if you change your vision of the future, you will also change the way you make decisions today."
