We’re been running the Future Trends Forum for almost a year, now (gulp). We’ve had splendid guests.
The question I’m asking now is: who should we invite next? Which genius or innovator or thought leader or troublemaker should we haul up on the Shindig stage?

We do have guests lined up over the next few months.
The week after next we’re doing a series of Forum discussions at the EDUCAUSE conference.
I’ll post an announcement about that soon.
And there are various awesome people slotted in from November through January.
But I’d like to know who else you’d like to see.
The comment box is open!




Hi Bryan…thanks for the chance to suggest folks for Future Trends Forum!
