At "MiniTrends 2012: A Conference on Translating Emerging Trends into Business Opportunities," business leaders and forward thinkers discuss starting new ventures or growing established organizations through attention to minitrends - emerging trends that will soon become important, but are not yet widely recognized. Entrepreneurs, decision makers, innovative thinkers, investors, and/or job seekers have the opportunity to learn, interact, and network with others while finding strategies and insights to create or grow their own organization or find new avenues for their skills. The conference is scheduled October 17-18, 2012 at the Omni Downtown in Austin, Texas.
TFI's MiniTrends concept, designed to increase creativity, innovation, and success, is summarized in the award-winning book "MINITRENDS: How Entrepreneurs & Innovators Discover & Profit From Business & Technology Trends."
