Invited speaker

Nancy Giordano is an exponential strategist, business futurist, and bestselling author who advises enterprise leaders on how to navigate profound technological change and prepare for what comes next. 

Having consulted on a portfolio of more than $60 billion in well-known brands and delivered more than 200 global keynotes, Nancy is widely recognized for helping organizations rethink outdated models and build the structures, mindsets, and leadership approaches needed for an increasingly complex future. She is the author of Leadering: The Ways Visionary Leaders Play Bigger, a frequent panelist at South by Southwest, a guest lecturer at Singularity University, and co-founder of the Femme Futurists Society. 

In Chicago, Nancy will open a thought-provoking conversation on quantum computing, superintelligence, and the next frontier of human systems, including: 

  • how quantum computing is changing the way we think about capability, complexity, and creativity 
  • what concepts like superposition, entanglement, and wave-particle duality may mean in a broader technology context 
  • how quantum communication and the idea of a quantum internet could reshape infrastructure, security, and connection 
  • what superintelligence may demand from leaders, businesses, and society 
  • why future systems may need to be built around interconnectedness, emergence, and new leadership thinking rather than outdated operating models 

Expect a conversation that is strategic, expansive, and highly relevant for leaders thinking about the future of intelligence, infrastructure, and transformation. 

Dinner chef

Chef Douglas Alley will create the evening’s menu. Douglas grew up near Philadelphia before continuing his culinary journey through restaurants in Lake Tahoe and formal training at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. 

He went on to spend a decade at Chicago’s three-Michelin-star Alinea, eventually serving as executive chef. Now on sabbatical and exploring more communal, event-based dining experiences, Douglas is bringing that rare level of craft to Good People Dinner, Chicago with a menu inspired by the comfort dishes he loves to cook and eat, prepared with the best seasonal ingredients from the Great Lakes region. 

This is a private, by-invitation gathering. Expect an evening of thoughtful conversation, extraordinary food, and a room shaped for meaningful connection. 

Capacity is very limited. Please register to be considered.
