The Future Laboratory returns in 2014 with co-founders coming to Sydney and Melbourne for a series of briefings on the evolution of creative industries around the world.

This year’s briefings will highlight an XX versus XY struggle and will ultimately reveal how Millennials are kick-starting a new era in how brands, businesses and retailers need to market and sell to them. This concept will explore three key topics: Athena Woman Rising; Re-con Man; and Generation I.
