Hey there,
The rate of change we're currently experiencing is profound. Our standard way of doing things--whether that's conducting business, taking care of our families, or simply getting around our cities--is being turned upside down.
During this time, we at Trend Hunter are invested in supporting the countless businesses facing uncertainty. We will continue to monitor critical trends and relay them to our community, starting with our new extended 2020 Trend Report. This report features more than 100 innovative ideas, and we hope it might offer some inspiration as we find ways to adapt to the new normal. Download it
HERE.
Chaos was the focus of my first book, written 12 years ago, and I know first-hand how it can cause us to retreat. However, it's important that we persevere, and I hope our company and research can be a beacon of how to navigate the difficult time ahead. I recently revisited the theme of innovating through chaos in my newest book, Create the Future, and if you missed our giveaway a few weeks back you can download the first chapter
HERE.
I also wanted to share that we will be rescheduling our March, April and May Future Festival events to later in the year, as the safety and well-being of our attendees and event staff is our number one priority. To minimize any inconvenience, we are working on several flexible options for ticket holders, including a virtual event alternative that we will be making available within the week.
Innovation is more important than ever during times of chaos, and we hope to remain your ally in disruptive thinking throughout this difficult period.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Gutsche
