I've run cultural / product / comms trend workshops for over a decade, for clients ranging from global FMCG brands to African NGO's. I often utilize my links with creative universities to include creative students in these ideation sessions, who act as a real catalyst for concept generation. On the speeches side, I've given talks across Europe, Asia and the US i.e. in cities ranging from Tokyo to Prague, from Helsinki to Melbourne and from San Francisco to Istanbul. (And in locations ranging from cruise liners to tents!) Recent speeches have dealt with behavioural economics, social networking, alternative culture and the rise of creative cities.
