Your fix of future-fueled festivity
Fueled by slightly too much seasonally spiced coffee (cinnamon + cloves + vanilla + coffee = heaven, trust us) and kept indoors by slightly too many seasonal storms, we’ve been hunkering down at IMEX HQ for the traditional end-of-year look back/look ahead. And because some of us feel like we’ve heard it all before (!), we asked futurist Henry Coutinho-Mason to set out a different path with his non-obvious questions to ask in 2025.
Plus, we’re gifting you expert insight from Storycraft Lab , some less-than-expert predictions, and a few very jolly holiday messages (there’s definitely something in this coffee…).
Your IMEX team
Five what ifs for 2025
The future for our community is a bright one. Especially if we follow Henry’s advice to be thieves in 2025. Futurist, author (and IMEX speaker) Henry Coutinho-Mason gives us five AI-fueled non-obvious questions to ask. Five ways to turn the “what ifs” and “imagine ifs” into event transforming realities in 2025.
Nostalgia, Now Gen, fun and (not) Future Dusk
We only wrote this last week and already one of our predictions has fallen at the first hurdle (yes, keeping up with trends is tricky!). So, it’s goodbye Future Dusk and hello Mocha Mousse. We’re definitely standing by fun though…

1wDo NOT use Zenus Bank. They fraudulently open accounts and then steal your money. They opened my account 8 weeks ago and took thousands of Dollars and I cannot get any response from them. 36 Phone Calls all same result. 25 Emails and same results. They hide and dodge and keep your money. Beware you have been warned. They lie about super fast and the Service Team is sitting in another country and can only give you the same answer: "We do not have access to the account and can only wait for the internal department to get back to us."
We love festive insights - all the Christmas lightbulbs out for this edition! 💡 🎄 ⭐️✨
