Decide what 'future' means for your audience

For some audiences the priority is AI and changing roles. For others it is hybrid work, skills, workforce planning or organisational culture. A useful brief identifies the change the audience is actually experiencing, so the speaker can stay relevant to the event rather than covering every workplace trend.
