A BI-WEEKLY INTERVIEW SERIES

FUTURE OF XYZ explores big questions about where we are as a world & where we’re going.
A mathematical variable alluding to the unique subject matter of each episode, XYZ also represents the bold vision of a future destination. In candid conversations with innovative leaders & courageous changemakers, we provoke new thinking about what's on the horizon related to art & design, science & innovation, culture & creativity.
FUTURE OF XYZ is presented by IF Design- a respected member of the international design community & host of the prestigious iF DESIGN AWARD. The podcast is also a proud member of the SURROUND Podcast Network.
