This is the year AI changes you. You can let the disruption derail you—or you can find the opportunity in chaos and gain an AI edge.
The world of Artificial Intelligence is changing so rapidly that it can feel difficult to keep up. But JEREMY GUTSCHE says that when your life has been turned inside out, that’s the perfect time to create the future. Described as “an intellectual can of Red Bull,” Jeremy is one of the most requested innovation consultants on the planet, helping everyone from Google to Disney navigate change and thrive through disruption—he even helped NASA prototype the journey to Mars! As the founder and CEO of Trend Hunter, the world’s #1 AI trend platform, he’s been at the cutting edge of AI innovation for over a decade. The author of multiple New York Times bestselling books, Jeremy shows us—with his unrivaled energy and humor—how to not only navigate but take advantage of chaos, tap into your AI opportunity today, and usher in the Super Future.
“Jeremy’s message fit perfectly into our strategy. His high-energy style kept my leadership team engaged and we kept talking about his session well into the evening.”— CIO of Coca-Cola
Everything is changing so quickly—how do we find the opportunity in the disruption we face every day? Jeremy Gutsche’s latest talk explores how we can take advantage of this unique moment, rising from the chaos to come back better than before. Since the release of his award-winning first book Exploiting Chaos, Jeremy has become a world-class expert on innovating through times of uncertainty.
When he’s not touring the globe as a futurist and sought-after innovation speaker, Jeremy is the CEO of Trend Hunter—the world’s #1 largest trend-spotting platform driven by artificial intelligence. Imagine the insight from a focus group made up of 100 million people—that’s Trend Hunter. He’s been delivering AI workshops, advisory services, and 10,000 trend reports based on Trend Hunter’s AI platform for the better part of the past decade. Jeremy has been incorporating AI into his innovation since before almost anyone else, and he can show you how to do it too.
With Jeremy at the helm, Trend Hunter has grown into a powerful innovation engine and global showcase for what’s next—attracting three billion views in the process. The site’s been featured or cited in over 40,000 articles, and Jeremy is routinely sourced by the media, where his broad appeal ranges from The Economist and CNN to WIRED and The New York Times. He has been described as “a new breed of trend spotter” by The Guardian, an “Oracle” by the Globe and Mail, an “intellectual can of Red Bull” by Association Week, and “the rockstar of keynote speakers” by Meetings Professional International.
Jeremy’s latest book, Create the Future, features a foreword by Malcolm Gladwell, and won a 2021 Axiom Business Book Award in the category of business disruption and reinvention. In it, Jeremy teaches readers how to think disruptively and implement real change when we need it most. As exciting as it is actionable, the handbook features strategies that Jeremy has personally used in projects with the world’s most powerful brands, who have each relied on him to lead them through rapid change. As companies and leaders scramble to pivot their business in the wake of the pandemic, there is no timelier or more urgent read—nor a more trusted, sought-after guide: Jeremy’s talks regularly go viral, and his landmark innovation keynote has surpassed 10 million views—making it the most-watched in history.
In his previous book, the New York Times bestseller Better and Faster, Jeremy reveals six patterns of opportunity that help smart people and teams lead through change, destroy complacency, and realize their potential. The book reached #1 on Amazon and was chosen as a CEO Read “Select” book for CEOs, entrepreneurs, and managers. Jeremy even used insights from the book to lead a workshop for NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, helping them integrate AI, become “lean, agile, responsive, and adaptive to change”—and, one day, get human beings to Mars.
Jeremy is the winner of The Cisco Innovation Excellence Award and the BDC’s Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Before founding Trend Hunter, he was one of Capital One’s youngest Business Directors, where he grew a billion dollar portfolio of market leading products at the age of 28. Previously, he was a Management Consultant for the Monitor Group, advising Fortune 500 clients on top level strategy. He holds an MBA from Queen’s, is a CFA, and studied innovation at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business.

The Market Research EventJeremy Gutsche is the rockstar of keynote speakers! He rocked the house. He brought people alive. He got people focused on the message and every single person was with him for every word. Jeremy Gutsche, you rock!
Meetings Professional InternationalI have always believed that the value and effectiveness of a presentation could be judged based on how well it managed to edify, to entertain, or to enlighten the audience. A good speaker will deliver on one of these key attributes. A great speaker will deliver on all three. Jeremy Gutsche delivered on all three. His ‘Get Better & Faster’ presentation at our recent CPABC Spring Leadership Conference was informative, it was entertaining, and it provided everyone with a framework that forced us to re-think our notions about how to find new opportunities for growth and success. His energy and dynamism are obvious, but more importantly, he backs up the performance with substance. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to gain unique and original insight into how to manage chaos and change.
CPABCWe had 7500 people from 82 countries, translated into 12 languages, which is more than the UN. Jeremy was unbelievable ... a standing ovation! Best closing speaker we've had in years! Don't miss him!

“This is the year AI changes you,” says Jeremy Gutsche. As CEO of Trend Hunter, he’s been pioneering AI strategy and research for over a decade. He helped IBM launch Watson AI back in 2013, wrote about it in his bestselling book Better and Faster, and set his company’s strategic North Star to be all about AI. Now, with his experience helping countless companies accelerate their AI strategy, he’s showing you how to take advantage of the disruption of today, and thrive in the fast-paced AI future.
In this visionary yet grounded talk, Jeremy explains the 7 limitations that are holding you back from radical innovation—and the 7 next steps that you can use to tap into your AI opportunity (from demystifying AI to planning out your “dream list”). He shows you the practical tools that his team has been using to become more creative and more productive, and helps you develop a personal action plan for your brand and organization. With his trademark energy and enthusiasm, Jeremy helps audiences not only understand what they need to do today to get ahead, but also get excited about all the opportunities that are available in the Super Future.
You probably have a great opportunity that is just within your grasp. You are likely closer to your next level of growth than you think. Smart teams and smart people can sometimes overlook these chances for success and miss their full potential because of what Jeremy Gutsche calls the 7 Traps of Path Dependency. These traps cause us to repeat our past decisions, and Jeremy knows how to watch out for them, leap over them, and claim the rewards that we’ve been missing.
Jeremy draws from his bestselling, award-winning book Create The Future: Tactics for Disruptive Thinking to teach you identify these traps for yourself by putting into practice a series of savvy tactics for change. You’ll learn how to realize your full potential faster and take advantage of every possible opportunity. Audiences walk away excited, energized, and ready to create the future.
From NASA to Universal, Jeremy Gutsche and Trend Hunter have helped more than 500 of the world’s top innovators find BETTER ideas FASTER. Focused 100 percent on your company, the workshops are high-impact, high-intensity experiences that leading companies, billionaires, and CEOs have relied on. With over 80 hours of potential workshop content, he builds a custom workshop tailored to your needs. For example:
Gutsche’s innovation keynote and workshops have helped the most innovative companies and organizations on the planet.
