Futures & Sustainability Presents
Warm Data Lab with Nora Bateson
This Warm Data Lab will be hosted in person by Nora Bateson, offering participants a rare opportunity to experience her work first-hand.February 11th, 2026
→ Tolhuistuin, Amsterdam
Inspired by the Warm Data Lab approach she developed, the evening invites participants to explore complexity through guided conversation, context, and shared reflection. Rather than breaking problems apart, the focus is on understanding how issues are interconnected across systems, cultures, and lived experience.
The room will bring together a diverse group of people working across sustainability, impact, foresight, design, policy, business, and the creative industries. This mix is intentional: insights emerge through difference, not sameness.
For people working on sustainability and complex societal issues, this is an opportunity to step beyond linear problem-solving, broaden perspective, and develop a deeper understanding of the systems they are trying to influence — together with others who are navigating similar challenges.
