After the fast-paced, exciting few days that were Trend Hunter's first ever Future Festival, it's time to look back on what contributed to 76% of attendees who called it the best business event they've ever attended. From molecular cocktails to robot petting zoos and immersive trend safaris, Future Festival aimed to make its mark by being a highly curated, continually engaging event centered around our 2016 Trend Report and the patterns of opportunity set to take hold in the year ahead.
An exclusive event designed to be the one time a year the world's top innovators take a step back and experience future industry-defining trends first-hand, Future Festival is also different based on its approach to cultivating a connected, cohesive conference curriculum. From a 110-page future book that serves as your textbook and which you can take with you for the year ahead to team-based, results-focused workshops, Future Festival will equip you and your team with everything you need to prototype your future success.
