Cities are booming, with a third of the population living in once-uninhabitable deserts. Robots and AI have reshaped society, automating nearly half of today’s jobs. And your Ray-Bans?

Automation is happening in real time, and millions of jobs are at risk. To keep up, we need to learn faster, think differently, and adapt in ways we never have before. Nicklas Hermansson, a media visionary, takes you on a fascinating journey through the future, offering practical tools and insights he’s used to lead two world-class teams to success.   Nicklas helped revolutionize Aftonbladet, turning it into a global digital leader, before becoming the Creative Director of one of the world’s most awarded Brand Studios. In 2022, he founded NomoFomo (No More of Missing Out), a media house curating trends and phenomena shaping the future. His newsletter NomoFomo Insights was named one of Sweden’s top publications, and in 2023, he was crowned Speaker of the Year in AI & Tech. As a futurist and AI expert for Aftonbladet and SVT Morgonstudion, Nicklas sifts through 2,500 news stories and studies each week, analyzing where the world is headed.   Join us at D-Congress 2025, the Nordic region's largest meeting place for digital commerce, organized by Svensk Handel.
