Magnus Lindkvist
Futurologist, Author & Trendspotter
Magnus Lindkvist is the futurologist, author and trendspotting phenomenon who delivers profound keynote performances shot through with subversive humor.
He has been described as brilliant, insanely funny, engaging and utterly professional. With a great sense of comic timing, he energizes audiences as he presents the latest trends. He calls his approach ‘intellectual acupuncture’ – but however you label them, Lindkvist’s lectures are unforgettable.
For almost three decades he has been performing all over the world, enchanting audiences with his research into the trends of the future.
He is the Swedish futurologist who knows the world like the back of his hand. Having delivered over a thousand keynotes in the last three decades he has impressed and enlightened everyone from CEOs of global companies to civil servants in the Middle East. He has received numerous awards and his performances and books are widely praised.
Ideas are central to Lindkvist’s lectures. How they clash. How they change the way we work, create and live. The ideas that drive humanity onwards, creating future possibilities and possible futures. These are serious subjects – but with his wry humor Lindkvist masters the art of letting opposites collide, creating a magical lecture that changes the way you think and create.
Lindkvist has published a number of books on the theme of the future, creativity and trends. In the upcoming book "The Reset Book: How to Bounce Back from a Crisis" (2023) Lindkvist provides insights, tools and solace for any person or organization seeking to reset and bounce back. In "Minifesto" (2016), he celebrates small ideas and explains why they are so important in a world obsessed with major narratives. In 2021 he and Swedish music journalist Jan Gradvall released "Creative Friction" (available in Swedish) in which they draw on the history of popular culture to explore what unites creative people.
With a Master of Science in Business and Economics from the Stockholm School of Economics and a degree in film production from UCLA, Lindkvist weaves his qualitative insights with the imaginative storytelling style of Hollywood. He does not just learn and teach about how creative clashes happen – he is the living embodiment of the method.
