As SNS members are aware, for the past 13 years we’ve hosted our Annual Predictions event at our New York Dinner, in the first week of December. There were a couple of difficulties with this arrangement: first, it was set up before moved our FiRe conference from May to October, so suddenly we were confronted with two major events back-to-back. Second, the first Thursday night of December is likely the worst night of the year to get New Yorkers out of their office Christmas parties to talk about the future.
For those reasons, we have moved our Annual Predictions event to be combined with the Technology Alliance Group predictions event in Bellingham, Washington, which I’ve been keynoting for over a decade, and which took place this past week. We’ll continue to do an annual event in New York, but with a slightly different focus and in a late-April calendar slot that both balances our company events calendar and should better suit the social pace of that city.
We’ll have a video of our 2019 Predictions event shortly, and will share that with members as well.
