POSSIBLE FUTURES FESTIVAL: RE-ENCHANTING THE FUTURE

In times marked by uncertainty and crises of trust, imagining futures that go beyond pessimism has become an act of courage. On October 23 and 24, experts from Brazil and around the world will come together at Casa Firjan to explore enchantment as a powerful driver of transformation. 

More than anticipating signals of change, the 8th edition of the Possible Futures Festival offers two days of immersion in panels, talks, and workshops to collectively rethink the meaning of relationships, technology, work, industry, and life in society. 

Thematic pillars

Three key thematic pillars will guide the programming of the Possible Futures Festival

(RE)DISCOVER MEANING
Imagining the future is a strategic act. This theme revives creativity and optimism as driving forces to break away from dystopian mindsets and build better futures — in business, leadership, and society.

(RE)HUMANIZE CONNECTIONS
In a hyperconnected world, listening and connecting are essential. This theme highlights human relationships as the foundation for more diverse, collaborative leadership, teams, and ecosystems.

(RE)SHAPE TECHNOLOGY
Technology must serve humanity. This theme invites reflection on the ethical and creative use of intelligent systems to expand our capacity for transformation.

THE FESTIVAL

The Possible Futures Festival is Casa Firjan’s festival of trends that, since 2018, has brought together thinkers and leaders around the main signals of change set to impact society and business in the future. With a multidisciplinary and diverse program—including lectures, panels, workshops, and immersive experiences—the event also marks the launch of the Macrotrends Report, an annual publication developed by the Firjan IEL Trends Lab to support strategic planning by anticipating risk factors and new business opportunities. 

How can we (re)enchant the future?

On October 23–24, 2025, the eighth edition of the Festival Futuros Possíveis takes place at Casa Firjan, in Rio de Janeiro, bringing together experts from Brazil and around the world for two days of immersion in talks, panels, workshops, experiences, live music, and much more. Discover the key themes explored in this edition.
