Coming together for the first time since COVID-19 closed our industry entirely, we’ll look forward as we do every year, but we’ll also look back at the lessons this pandemic has taught us and how we can all better prepare for our future. We are not the same as we were when we last gathered at Predict 2019 – as leaders, or as humans. We’re changed. Our industry is changed, and our clients and audiences are changed. Are we destined to repeat the past? That’s up to us as an industry. The future is one we create together and that starts now. That is the purpose of Predict.
This year’s program will represent the radically changed business environment. We’ll explore the economic, geo-political and social issues that will hold significant influence over public and private businesses, and individuals. Before the end of the first day, you’ll have a solid understanding of the macro trends on the horizon and why they’re important. On the second day, you’ll learn from one another. Most importantly, we can decide what do we wish to take into our industry’s future, and what should we leave behind because it no longer serves us or our audiences.
Topics you won’t want to miss: (just a teaser, we’ll have even more.)
The Predict Advisory Council is responsible for program development and related decisions that guide the planning and execution of the Predict Conference. The event is produced within a CEIR board approved budget. The Council may seek CEIR Executive Committee approval on matters of CEIR policy and/or expenses outside the event budget.
In addition to planning the annual event, the council will also provide an annual review of the immediately completed event and provide recommendations for shaping the event going forward. Recommendations should include such items as frequency, size, dates, location, sponsorship guidelines, registration fees and any other matters that may be assigned from time to time or that the council believes need to be addressed.
