The approach
“FUTURO is a place where you can lean back to think about the future, inspired by 3 brilliant trendwatchers that surprise, enchant, and break through the usual trend-mumbo-jumbo. A must-do for leaders that want to go beyond running their day-to-day business!”
Kurt Frenier, Vice President GM Global Portfolio Transformation PepsiCo | Global Beverage Group
In a fast-moving world with an uncertain future, it’s a healthy reflex to spare a few days to get away from the daily bustle and reflect on the many business challenges the future will bring. FUTURO aims to inject you with a fresh dose of inspiration. Join Herman Konings, Joeri Van den Bergh & Tom Palmaerts on the FUTURO Getaway to broaden your horizon, sharpen your mind and refuel your vision.
The three of them think a crystal ball is taboo, unless you fill it up with gin & tonic.
