EXPLORE THE 18 MOST-IMPORTANT MEGATRENDS SHAPING THE WORLD, AND HOW EACH IS
IMPACTED BY AI, WITH TOP FUTURIST ARMIDA ASCANO



Our Chief Content Officer, one of the world's most popular speakers on trends,
Armida Ascano, will help you uncover the forces impacting your business in a
fast-paced and tech-driven world.

Leveraging our big data from 225,000,000 people, we’ve built the most
researched, most data-driven system for identifying opportunities. This
unparalleled research led us to 6 Patterns of Opportunity and the 18 most
important Megatrends shaping our future.

Using this framework, you’ll learn how to apply these Megatrends and patterns to
any industry, and then more specifically how the resulting Megatrends conference
content can be leveraged when you return home. For continuity, the rest of the
innovation conference builds upon these frameworks, deep-diving into the top
Megatrends throughout the rest of the day.

We've reached a point in time when everyone wants innovation, but most people
don't know how to make it happen. In our era of rapid change, disruption, and
possibility, there are so many great opportunities within your grasp. However,
smart, successful people consistently miss out. We have 7 traps that keep us

FuturistU program. You’ll still get to be part of the World Summit epic trend
day, tech party and networking events, but you’ll be learning in a smaller group
in a focused 5-Day program that walks you through our full innovation strategy
curriculum with a private stream of workshops and coaching from Jeremy Gutsche
and our Futurist Team.

WANT HIGHER ROI FOR YOUR BRAND? BRING 6 PEOPLE - If you really want to convince
your boss, push for 6 people and you will get a private table so that you can
apply the learnings to actual solutions, tactics, next-steps and pitches for
your company, instead of an assigned case study.

YOUR CURRICULUM & OUTCOMES - This program works through the full cycle of
innovation, working through dozens of our best innovation workshops, best
practices and tactics. You’ll learn while applying each tactic to your capstone
project. Half of each day is content and half is an applied set of structured
workshops, leading to your new business case and perfect pitch.
