"We can’t stop the waves, but we can learn how to surf."
Jon Kabat-Zinn
When disruptive black swans become the new normal, the Black Swan Summit helps you turn uncertainty into strategic advantage. Rooted in the universal principle that impermanence is the only constant - from quantum physics to markets, ecosystems, and empires - the Summit invites participants to embrace disruption as a natural force of evolution. We cannot stop the waves of transformation, but we can learn to ride them and uncover new opportunities within them.
The Black Swan Summit is a global foresight platform that explores how innovation through disruption can build more resilient economies and inclusive societies. It brings together leaders in artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing, distributed ledger technology (DLT) and green infrastructure to examine how emerging technologies are reshaping industries and redefining growth.
Originating in Perth, Western Australia, and now expanding worldwide, the Summit unites policymakers, technologists and investors to translate emerging technologies into practical strategies for growth, resilience and sustainability.
