At Future Festival 2025 in New York, the highly anticipated Tech Panel will deliver a compelling exploration of emerging technologies at the intersection of design, AI, and business trends. This year’s discussion is enriched by the presence of two industry visionaries: Jennifer Price, Global Design Lead Producer for Craft & Interface at General Motors, and Miguel Olarte, Global Breakthrough Innovation Lead at Diageo.

Jennifer Price will delve into how GM is reimagining the future of mobility through emotionally attuned design and digitally integrated user experiences—showcasing the role of craftsmanship in an increasingly automated world. In parallel, Miguel Olarte will offer insights into how Diageo is navigating global AI and business trends to reframe consumer engagement, product innovation, and brand storytelling across its portfolio of iconic labels.

Together, their dialogue represents the essence of Future Festival 2025: bold, interdisciplinary thinking aimed at shaping what’s next.

For those who were unable to attend Future Festival New York, there’s still an opportunity to gain transformative insights—registration is open for Trend Hunter’s World Summit in Toronto, the ultimate gathering of innovation leaders from around the globe.
