“FutureCast 2022 will explore how to build a more beautiful world by moving forward together, which is our mantra. The idea to launch FutureCast in 2021 was inspired after I read the book ‘Ten Lessons For A Post-Pandemic World’ by Fareed Zakaria. I felt like the world needed hope and leadership, especially related to diversity and inclusion – and we’re excited to help bring that forward through our growing event for a second year,” said Newman.

“CM Group is honored to host FutureCast 2022 in our Manhattan office space. As a leader in the digital marketing space, CM Group believes in the power of relationships and the magic of connectivity, especially true as we work to build a more inclusive world. We’re eager to participate and learn from FutureCast, and look forward to building meaningful relationships that bring people closer together.”
