Agenda at Glance

A Whole New Format for a Whole New Event…
Harmonizing Inspiration and Practicality for Implementation
Day 1 of the World Future Trend Summit focuses on short 25-minute business case presentations from market research, insights, innovation, trends, design, marketing and product development executives. These cases present a realistic view of trends in action and reveal projects that worked, ones that didn't, and what was learned along the way.

High-level Keynotes hit the stage to talk about the newest worldwide trends, insights and innovations. These future-focused leaders will come together to help you fuel successful change at the senior level of your organization.

We have structured unique workshops with key advisors who are prepared to teach you the fundamental elements behind trend implementation and application. From rapid prototyping, to scenario testing and trend trekking we bring you the best in trend analysis and exploration.
