The Futureproof Project
The future isn't coming. It’s already here.
The Futureproof Project has been curating community since 2021. Now, over 300 ambitious marketers have joined us to explore how AI is reshaping growth, creativity, and what it means to lead. It’s part think tank, part toolkit—and 100% focused on turning emerging technology into your competitive advantage.
Where curiosity meets clarity.
Your unfair advantage in the age of AI.
Futureproof is built around one simple idea: when smart marketers get together—in a setting that embraces the messiness of progress—they help each other get smarter, faster.
We host curated events where leaders can be vulnerable and share what’s actually working when it comes to AI, automation, team design, and scalable growth. From those conversations, we distill insights into reports, newsletters, and real-world solutions to help teams stay ahead.
This isn’t theory. This is what’s next—and how to lead it. Today.
Purpose-built for you.
You'll feel right at home if you're...
A CMO or VP tasked with modernizing your marketing org
A brand, content, or media lead exploring AI-driven scale
An operator trying to make your team faster, leaner, and smarter
The kind of person who hates vendor webinars and loves real talk
