Hey there! COUNTDOWN TO FUTURE FESTIVAL WORLD SUMMIT Join us at Future Festival Hey there! In just 3 weeks, we'll be kicking off the Future Festival World Summit in Toronto. In addition to our amazing lineup of presentations, Trend Safaris and tech demos, this year we're offering attendees a choice of 4 takeaway-packed workshops. Here's a sneak peek at the selection: How to Disrupt: Our original Future Festival workshop, based on the same methodology we've used to help NASA prototype the Journey to Mars. How to Prototype: This is the workshop for anyone wondering: "what now?" We'll outline the key steps to turning trends and ideas into action. How to Persuade: Great ideas are only the first step; the second is winning buy-in from your team. In this workshop, we highlight replicable tactics to help you perfect your pitch and negotiate a win. How to Build a Culture of Innovation: Based on our Innovation Assessment, this workshop will help you bolster your corporate culture and maximize your team's strengths.
