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.

Meetings Professional International
Testimonials

I 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.

Corporate Culture
Making Culture Out of ChaosHow to Innovate in Times of Chaos & Change
Times of change create enormous opportunity, for those who know how to look—and for anyone who understands how to create a culture that can adapt to chaos. In the quest to adapt, culture isn’t just one aspect of the game, easily brushed aside as superfluous. It’s the entire game. In fact, culture drives everything within a company—from the words we use to describe success and failure, to the ways we interact and communicate within and without. And subtle shifts in how we create our culture can mean total transformation—for the worse, and for the better.
Join Jeremy Gutsche, an expert in change leadership, as he shows you how the world’s most inspiring companies organize their missions, values, and ethics, and how they orchestrate unique environments that breed success. The core of any progressive company culture lies in finding your purpose, he argues—the passion, urgency, and importance behind your brand. How well have you expressed your principles? How deeply embedded are your values? How do you inspire loyalty and dedication—and give back to the people who take up your cause?
Based on over 1,000 interviews with innovation leaders, and tens of thousands of people who have taken his Innovation Assessment, Jeremy unpacks the value of defining, and upholding, a culture that makes clients, partners, and employees get excited about what you do.
* Note: this session includes a free innovation assessment for each individual as well as a free group innovation assessment. The assessment will provide each individual with 10 pages of specific insights into how they innovate and lead differently than their peers, which will help to personalize the session. You can also receive a group innovation assessment to understand more specifically how your group compares to the world’s top innovators, enabling Gutsche to better tailor his content, takeaways, and workshops to your company.
