Today I read that ISPA will be hosting Mike Walsh as one of their Keynote speakers for their October 2014 conference in Las Vegas. Who is Mike Walsh? I looked at his dreamy picture and pondered that question myself... I have never seen a Keynote speaker look like this before. Maybe he created a new oil based color? Or possibly a new exotic nut oil for hair? Not exactly. His captivating photo led me to a Google search about this pretty face, and it turns out Mike Walsh is quite a fascinating guy.
Here is what ISPA is saying about him:
"Mike Walsh is a global authority on the 21st century business. He is also the author of Futuretainment, and CEO of Tomorrow, a consumer innovation research lab, Walsh prepares business leaders for what's next. He is a leading authority on the intersection of emerging technologies, consumer behavior and fast growth markets, he brings unique insights into the growing influence of new markets on breakthrough innovation and business transformation. Rather than focus on the distant future, Mike focuses on the next five years - scanning the near horizon for disruptive technologies and consumer innovations on the verge of hitting critical mass - then translating these into usable business strategies. Mike constantly travels the world for the best ideas, distilling the most relevant insights into a blueprint that allows any audience to understand and influence the future of their industry."
I watched some of his videos and was so impressed. Not only is he delightful to watch, he is an intelligent and interesting world traveler with a palpable passion for knowledge and the future. His delightful accent was just the icing on the cake too! Gheez - I feel like Amy Farrah Fowler talking about Sheldon!
I am curious to hear him speak to the ISPA audience. So ISPA here I come... and I guess I need to bring my husband too.
