Voices of the Future is a podcast and book conceptualized by Dr. Tariq Qureishy that features conversations with prominent future-oriented thought leaders who are involved in helping to create a more positive, just, sustainable, regenerative, and enlightened society.

My 25+ year business career has been that of a successful CEO, entrepreneur, media professional. Now I am also a futurist, author, podcast host, and a motivational speaker.

I have had the privilege of working with some of the best corporations in the world including Dow Jones Markets, The Times/Sunday Times and Bloomberg Media and have many achievements to show for it.

I studied at Harvard Business School, have a degree in Economics, lived and worked in the most exotic cities in the world, gaining unique insights and experiences on this business journey.

Today I am the CEO of Xponential, a future readiness and transformation platform and the Founder/CEO of MAD Group, a content and storytelling platform that brings together some of the best minds of the world.

However that is really not the whole story. Now I am MAD … even 100% MAD!

I am MAD about “Making A Difference” in everything I do. Work, social impact, life, everything.

I am a futurist and a disruptive thinker. I love to connect the dots between the present and future, to create breakthrough thinking for organizations so they can thrive in the future and create exponential business and social value.

Get in touch with me. Together let's make a difference!

FuturistsX Summit Featuring Dr. Tariq Qureishy as a Leading Global Futurist

This September, Dubai became the stage for one of the most visionary gatherings of our time — the Futurists X Summit.

An unforgettable convergence of futurists, innovators, and thought leaders exploring how humanity can thrive in an age of exponential change.

I was honored to take part across multiple sessions and panels — from The Big Emerging Tech Trends for the Next 20+ Years to discussions on AI, longevity, geopolitics, and the future of education & work — each diving deep into how trust, ethics, and human creativity can guide the technologies shaping tomorrow.

This page captures highlights, photos, and videos from those powerful conversations — a reflection of ideas, people, and moments that will continue to shape the decade ahead.

The future is not coming — it’s unfolding right here!
