THE SINGULARITY EXPONENTIAL
EXECUTIVE PROGRAM
5 days that will challenge what you know — and the way you think.
Leadership development designed to help you think like a futurist
First launched in 2009, the Singularity Executive Program (EP) has helped leaders re-frame their perspective and develop deeper understanding of the technologies shaping the future.
The program's purpose is to inspire radically new ways of thinking — the kind of mindset necessary for starting new companies or reshaping organizations seeking change.
The EP is for those ready to take the next transformative leap, to own the future and become the leaders of tomorrow.
