We are super excited to announce and welcome Impact Entrepreneur and Community Builder Ben Keene as opening keynote for the Future Vision: Innovate Regenerate annual conference 2025.
Best known as the co-founder of Tribewanted, an award-winning social enterprise that built sustainable communities in remote locations (starting on a tropical island in Fiji), Ben has spent over 20 years turning big ideas into reality. From reinventing book clubs to purposeful career programmes, from climate startup fundraising to AI for Good, Ben combines a unique blend of experience from the startup world, social innovation, and global community building.
From the CIA in Las Vegas to a mosque in Myanmar, to global event stages, Ben has worked with purpose-led businesses, corporate teams, and leaders across industries to help them navigate change, foster collaboration, and design for sustainability. His work is driven by the belief that curiosity, creativity, and connection are at the heart of solving complex challenges.
Engaging, optimistic, and practical, Ben’s talks inspire audiences to reimagine leadership, embrace innovation, and build resilient communities in a fast-changing world. A natural storyteller, he leaves listeners energised and ready to act.
"I love connecting with people who are motivated about making the world better through their work and building businesses and communities that have this in their DNA."
