Session One
Cinematic Foresight for Futures Strategy
Mike Hyzy and Michael Marshall, Chicago Futures Salon
Film is the fastest way to teach anyone how to think about the future. We use it to teach two methods real futurists rely on, then the whole room designs a future together and generative AI builds it into a short film we premiere on the spot. Walk in an audience. Walk out a filmmaker of futures.

Session Two
4 Artistic Movements Stolen for Business Purposes
Mike Hyzy and Michael Marshall, Chicago Futures Salon
Four artistic movements, repurposed as business innovation tools. Psychology’s creativity research, Oulipo’s constraints, Situationist détournement, and ’pataphysics, each applied live to real business problems the room brings. Leave with a toolbox of provocations. The movements won’t mind, we promise.
