Welcome to Future Trends 2009

Welcome to the 2009 Future Trends Conference.

Lead Confidently. Navigate Now to Next. Regain Control.

FT'09 is your opportunity to join industry experts, corporate visionaries, trendsetters and other revolutionaries to uncover and action the trends that matter most to your business, brand and service. Look not only into the immediate future and way ahead- where will we be in 50 years or more? And focus on making it relevant for your business - before others do. Lead your team to relate trends to make decisions, engage in real conversations, and create meaningful change.

New for 2009:

  • All new speakers sharing revolutionary case studies that moved their
    brand forward
  • Instant Innovation: A three part series of interactive sessions that show you how to create ideas on the spot
  • Extended interactive sessions on “Using Social Media & Co-Creation” and “Conquering Energy Challenges”
  • All new symposium on the global & technology trends affecting you most
  • Two targeted tracks with more emphasis on tools to identify and apply trends
