A World in Transistion: A Pearl Social Salon

Participants examine the most striking headlines from the past year through a macroscopic lens — tracing how geopolitics rewired itself in a single year, how artificial intelligence moved from novelty to infrastructure, how climate crossed from crisis to daily catastrophe, how a space economy was born, and how the struggle for gender equality gained speed even as it demands serious attention.

The G7 summit serves as the entry point for a salon exploring the early signals of a world in transition — more fragmented, more technologically advanced, more climate-stressed, and more morally contested than anything before it. The next 20 years will not be an extension of the last 20.

The format is collective sense-making: examining the assumptions buried inside each headline, debating what these signals mean for the decades ahead, and asking what they demand. Attendees are encouraged to come with sharp opinions and expect a conversation that connects dots, challenges narratives, and leaves with a better conceptual map of the world that's already arriving.

Discussion notes — digital and printed — included with registration.
