Trends guru lined up for Advantage conference
Trends spotter Daniel Levine has been confirmed as the second keynote speaker for this year’s Advantage Conference on-board MSC Fantasia.
Levine is executive director of the Avant-Guide Institute, a New York-based trends consultancy and has been hailed as ‘the ultimate guru of cool’ by CNN.
He is the author of over 20 best-selling books and a frequent guest on international television and radio.
His clients span a number of business sectors and include Samsonite, Carlsberg, American Express and South Africa Tourism.
Colin O’Neill, business development director at Advantage, said delegates will have the opportunity to really understand the changes that are likely to influence them in the future and how to prepare for them.
"With an overall conference theme of ‘Blink’, with a belief that things can change in the blink of an eye, it is important to understand what is happening around you and to reset your vision," he said.
Advantage has already announced that Canadian astronaut Colonel Chris Hadfield will speak at the conference.
