Future Forward is about building bridges, making connections, sharing experiences, and establishing relationships between the most creative people and companies throughout the region. We think of it as the "Future Forward Set." It's a group that has always existed in this part of the world. It's just not a group that often has occasion to come together. Who participates? Here's a sample of some of the companies that have attended Future Forward.
The workshop series offers an intimate environment for you to exchange ideas with your peers, whether they are CIOs from software companies or CIOs at other market-leading companies. The workshop series also offers a unique opportunity for the region's top researchers to share their ideas on current research trends and how research can best be transitioned from the lab into the marketplace.
The retreat brings together the participants at the workshops for a one-day program featuring demo sessions, debates, real-world implementation stories, panel discussions, and networking opportunities designed to deliver maximum business value for participants.
What makes the Future Forward program different from other events you may attend is that it's intensively interactive. There are no plodding "how to" tutorials, no pre-fab, plodding company pitches. Every program is designed to blow by the obvious and arrive at real insight -- some of it served up in an intimate workshop format and some of it, at the retreat, served up by the presenters and moderators onstage, with contributions by the movers-and-shakers in our audience. Future Forward is unique in that most of the people in the audience are regular speakers at other conferences; they participate in Future Forward to be among peers.
