Spend a day with 10 of the world's top business thought leaders in an intimate 100-person workshop style event.
About this Event
WHAT'S NEXT? is a first-ever conference that puts you in a room with ten of the world's top thought leaders on the topic of business transformation. With a strict limit of only 99 other participants, get ready for an intimate, workshop-style session where you will get to know the speakers and your fellow attendees.

A group of ten business transformation thought leaders have been meeting together as a group for the last few years to share thoughts and insights privately. Now, for the first time ever, they are opening access to their private mastermind group to a limited number of participants for one day only.

This isn’t going to be like any “conference” you have ever been to. Each speaker will give their best 20-25 minutes of insights about WHAT's NEXT? in “Ted Talk” style format on what they see as the most important trends business need to be focused on in 2023 and beyond.

In addition, we will conduct breakouts with the speakers, so you will get to choose which of the amazing event faculty you want to spend time with in even smaller groups of 10-15 people, asking questions and contemplating WHATS NEXT?

The speakers will be answering A LOT of your questions, and we will have debates between key thought leaders on key topics like the future of blockchain, the most important trends in digital marketing, what is the #1 thing large brands need to be focusing on to succeed in 2023, and whatever topics are important to YOU and your fellow attendees.

The event will start at 10am on November 17, go through lunch and culminate with a cocktail party with the speakers.

WHAT'S NEXT takes place at a really cool and creative venue, The Innovation Loft, on 7th ave and 30th street right across from Penn Station—a facility normally not open to the public but used by one of the speakers for workshop sessions with his most important Fortune 1000 clients.


WHAT'S NEXT? SPEAKERS

These speakers aren't just presenting. All will be present for the full day, participating, mingling and answering your questions. With only a 10:1 ratio of participants to speakers you will have plenty of opportunity to ask them your questions (so get some ready!)

David Meerman Scott spotted the real-time marketing revolution in its infancy and wrote a dozen books about it including The New Rules of Marketing and PR, now in an 8th edition, with more than 425,000 copies sold in English and available in 29 languages from Albanian to Vietnamese.

Now David says the pendulum has swung too far in the direction of superficial online communications. Tech-weary and bot-wary people are hungry for true human connection. Organizations have learned to win by developing what David calls a “Fanocracy” - (the subject of his Wall Street Journal bestseller) - tapping into the mindset that relationships with customers are more important than the products they sell to them.

He is a massive live music fan, having been to 905 live shows since he was 15 years old, is passionate about the Apollo lunar program, and he loves to surf but isn't very good at it.
