Bali is set to welcome dozens of global leaders, innovators, and visionary thinkers at the Genius Future Summit 2025, taking place on 2–3 October at Nuanu Creative City in Tabanan. The international gathering will spotlight emerging trends shaping the future—from artificial intelligence and decentralised Bitcoin-based finance to the transformative power of global communities.
The two-day summit will feature keynote speeches, panel discussions, and hands-on “how-to” sessions designed to equip participants with strategies for achieving life balance, fostering sustainable impact, and strengthening community networks in the digital age.
Among the headline speakers are British entrepreneur Steven Bartlett—founder of Flight Story and host of The Diary of a CEO podcast—futurist and Genius Group CEO Roger James Hamilton, economist and bestselling author Saifedean Ammous (The Bitcoin Standard), and Sergey Solonin, founder of Nuanu Creative City and architect of Bali’s sustainable creative ecosystem. Also joining the line-up are Penny Power OBE and Thomas Power, co-founders of Ecademy and BIP100, known for pioneering community-driven business networking.
Other notable figures include serial entrepreneur Paul O’Mahony (Rethink Academy), Will Travis (Elevation Barn and Elevate podcast), and Diana “Bule Bitcoin,” a leading voice in Indonesia’s Bitcoin community. Speakers such as Eva Mantziou, Suraj Naik, Angie Stead, and Llana Reece will also share insights across education, law, technological innovation, and community strategy.
Speaking at a press briefing in Canggu on Thursday, Genius Group founder and CEO Roger James Hamilton outlined the summit’s global ambitions. The event will culminate in the launch of Genius City—Asia’s first lifelong learning community focused on education, innovation, and social impact. Developed in partnership with Nuanu Creative City, the initiative aims to build a future-ready urban model that is environmentally conscious, community-oriented, and seamlessly integrated with cutting-edge technology.
The summit will also unveil ten key trends in AI, Bitcoin, and community development that are expected to redefine how people work, collaborate, and create value. Central themes include AI’s role in boosting productivity, Bitcoin’s emergence as a trusted digital asset, and the rise of global communities as a new foundation for trust and economic growth.
The Genius Future Summit 2025 further cements Bali’s reputation as a premier international destination that blends innovation, sustainability, and local culture. Attendees from around the world are expected to gather for insights, networking, and a first-hand look at the birth of a creative city ecosystem poised to become a blueprint for the future.
