Our Minneapolis Innovation Conference

Our Minneapolis Strategy Conference takes all of the vital information from our three-day event in Toronto and packs it into one accelerated program. Highlights from the day include Trend Hunter CEO Jeremy Gutsche’s engaging keynote speech outlining the 6 Patterns of Opportunity and 18 Megatrends changing our world, informative trend and innovation sessions on the future of consumer insights, and an immersive afterparty experience where top innovators will have an opportunity to connect. You will also walk away with $4,000 worth of research and presentation materials to help you turn inspiration into action.

“

Awesome INNOVATION experience... highly recommend for anyone that wants to disrupt, re-invent or re-define their business.”
— Senior Director of Strategy & Innovation

Future Festival Attendee Johnson & Johnson

“

Any senior executive would benefit hugely from taking a couple of days and attending Future Festival. All that attended went back to their desks with new eyes on the world, and knowing what are the right questions to ask.”
— Global VP of Innovation

Create The Future + The Innovation Handbook: Tactics for Disruptive Thinking

Learn to navigate chaos with our tactical guidebook for disruptive thinking, innovation, and change. The new double-book includes The Innovation Handbook, an updated version of the award-winning bestseller: Exploiting Chaos.

In our era of rapid change, disruption and possibility, there are endless opportunities within your grasp. Everyone wants innovation, but most people don’t know how to make it happen, frequently falling into common neurological traps that lead to missed potential. How does one avoid these traps in order to attain true success?

Why visit? We'll suggest a dozen one-of-a-kind experiences for after the Minneapolis Innovation Conference

Whether you’ve visited the Twin Cities before or not, there is plenty to see or do. If you have some time on your hands before or after the Minneapolis Strategy Conference, be sure to check out some of the city’s most unexpected venues. This includes stopping for some delicious vegan grub at The Herbivorous Butcher, sampling some exceptional sour beers at Wild Mind Artisan Ales, and then crafting an original score on the city’s famed Sidewalk Harp. If you’d rather enjoy some downtime, head over to Orfield Laboratories in South Minneapolis to explore an anechoic chamber that has been dubbed “the quietest place on earth.”
