Second Sydney date set for annual Trend Briefing.
February 10th, 2010
If you were worried about missing out on tommorow’s trends, The Future Laboratory has announced a second date for its annual Sydney event.
The London-based consultancy helps businesses anticipate market trend shifts by identifying leads, gaining a sound insight into customer’s future needs and developing cost-effective brand strategies.
Presented by directors Martin Raymond and Chris Sanderson, the Trend Briefing will cover the latest key global retail, consumer, design and social trends relevant to design, communication, planning, strategic managers and directors.
This year’s event will cover ‘Retail futures’, ‘Brandotracies’, ’Homestead 3.0’ and ‘Prohibition Cultures’ – looking at what’s next in store after the ‘pop-up’ craze, the next step for businesses in the blog-era and how domestic life is likely to evolve with the advent of working, shopping and socialising in our homes.
As tickets for the original date of 18 February are expected to sell out soon, Friday 19 February was added to the Sydney schedule.
Tickets for this additional date will be on sale on 8 February 2010.
The briefing will be also held in Melbourne on 16 February 2010 at BMW Edge in Federation Square.
Tickets are priced at $300. Click here for online bookings.
