The one-day ideas summit for association leaders and the events industry
Future Ideas 2027 brings association executives, meeting planners, and speakers bureau agents together for a single day of short talks. Each speaker gets 15 minutes on stage to make the case for one idea, which keeps the program moving and leaves no room for filler. The lineup pairs names you already know with speakers you will be glad you heard first.
The summit takes place April 15, 2027, at Venue SIX10 in Chicago, and includes the presentation of the Future Ideas Institute Awards.
Described by past attendees as, “Eye-opening, energizing, and unlike anything else.”
Attendance is by invitation only and complimentary for every invited guest.
