In this presentation, Dr. John Vanston introduces a new concept — Minitrends — that offers very attractive possibilities to individuals and businesses that learn its principles and apply those principles in a practical business environment. This concept provides a new approach for finding and taking advantage of emerging trends that will become significant in 2-5 years, but are not yet widely recognized or appreciated.

  • Individual entrepreneurs will learn how to identify, assess, and exploit new business opportunities.
  • Decision makers in small and mid-size businesses will learn how to gain advantage by recognizing and utilizing emerging trends.
  • Innovative thinkers in large businesses will learn how to distinguish themselves by their special perceptiveness.
  • Investors will learn how to uncover attractive new investment opportunities.

Dr. John Vanston is Chairman of TFI, an Austin-based company he founded in 1978 and has built into a leading custom research and technology forecasting firm working with telecom and other high-technology industries.  This presentation is based on Dr. Vanston’s 30 years of experience in identifying and applying technical, social, and business trends and the new book MINITRENDS: How Innovators & Entrepreneurs Discover & Profit From Business & Technology Trends authored by Dr. Vanston with his daughter Carrie Vanston.
