Malcolm Gladwell Joins Trend Hunter for Future Festival 2018

See Gladwell at Future Festival 2018

— December 13, 2017 — Marketing
Trend Hunter is proud to announce that Malcolm Gladwell will be speaking at the 2018 Future Festival World Summit in Toronto. As America's leading pop sociologist, Gladwell will bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to Future Festival to provide attendees with a thought-provoking take on innovation.

Gladwell is journalist, author and speaker, who has been dubbed one of the most influential thinkers of our time. His writing largely draws on academic work from the fields of sociology, psychology, and social psychology, to provide a unique perspective on some of the most pressing societal issues. His effort to combine interesting stories with compelling academic research has led to five books (all of which have been on The New York Times bestseller list) and a critically-acclaimed podcast called Revisionist History.

Gladwell will kickoff the fourth annual edition of Future Festival Toronto -- “the world’s best innovation conference” -- on September 18th, 2018, at the the Westin Harbour Castle. His engaging keynote speech will draw on his wealth of insight from the social sciences to teach Future Festival attendees how to unlock their full potential over the course of the three-day conference. Those who purchase a VIP ticket will also be invited to join Gladwell and Trend Hunter CEO Jeremy Gutsche for a special lunchtime session. This lunch will provide Future Festival attendees with an exclusive opportunity to learn how to innovate in time of chaos with tips from two seasoned keynote speakers.

To see Gladwell and hear his unique perspective on innovation, join us for the Future Festival World Summit in Toronto. Super Early Bird tickets are on sale now, so register today to save.
