Spotting and predicting trends is part observation, part guesswork. Just because you were right about programmatic ads and chatbots doesn’t mean you’ll be right about the next big thing. We’ve all been convinced about innovations taking off (remember the minidisc?) only to find they fall at the first hurdle.
One thing that you can be sure of is to have the best chance of predicting what’s coming next, you need to know what is happening right now, and then make some very educated guesses.
To get you up to speed, we’re hosting Think Forward, a special event looking at our predictions for the trends that will impact social over the next 12 months, which will be held at our London HQ. We’ll be launching our Think Forward 2016 report on the night with four amazing guest speakers looking at the future of social from a Content, Culture, Business and Technology perspective.
Our speakers include:
Mobbie Nazir, Chief Strategy Officer, We Are Social
Jeremy Waite – Strategic Marketing Evangelist, IBM
David Mattin – Global Head of Trends & Insights, TrendWatching
We can’t offer you a social crystal ball, but we can guarantee by the end of the event you’ll be in the best position to make your own predictions for the future of social. Think Forward.
Think Forward will take place on Thursday 3rd November at 5.30pm at We Are Social, Alphabeta, 14-18 Finsbury Square, London, EC2A 1BR, UK. Tickets are free but spaces are limited, so if you want to be sure you’ll be on the list, register on our Eventbrite page.
