Scaling solutions to benefit the health of the individual, society, and the planet.

Near Future is a community of brilliant and values-driven entrepreneurs, investors, and philanthropists catalyzing world positive business across trillion-dollar industries like food, transportation, energy, built environment, healthcare, and beyond.

Context

Near Future is an annual three-day event that brings together a group of visionaries to share their world-positive solutions with one another. The summit utilizes a single-track format with never-heard-before keynotes, select panel discussions, and brilliant hands-on workshops. Plus, two extraordinary parties. This one-of-a-kind gathering creates an opportunity for inventors, investors, and entrepreneurs to share the coolest new products and ideas, co-create and develop lasting partnerships.

Solution

Continuing our five-year relationship, we partnered with Near Future to bring the 2025 conference design to life. Guided by their established brand, we expanded its identity into new thematic territories, introducing a refreshed palette, custom collages, invitations, website, sponsor deck, and experiential elements. The work expressed their forward-thinking vision within a comforting, nurturing, distinctly feminine context that fostered community and collaboration.

01 Brand Identity

To celebrate Near Future's 10th anniversary we developed a new milestone mark that was used across a number of touch points including the badge, Fellow Carter Tumbler, and the website.

02 Theme Design

Using a collage-styled approach we created a dynamic group of designs to represent each unique theme that the summit would be focusing on. In each collage, we brought together a diverse group of images to encapsulate the essence of each theme and showed how each collage was interconnected in the context of a larger comprehensive system.

03 Digital Execution

Near Future's foundational strength is based in the individual equities that each participant brings to each event. We captured the individuality of these members and the stories they tell in the Near Future website using the new color palette and each of the thematic collages.

04 Event Branding

For the live event, where it all happens at Near Future, we developed experiential elements, way-finding signage, and speakers' presentation materials that helped direct the community to each of the activities with the same voice and visual personality as the rest of the brand.
