the event / the workshop / the game changer : this is my most favourite event to organise and lead

FutureThon

Many hands may make “ light work ”,

but many minds make the “ impossible ” work !

A FutureThon is where people come together to transform today ’ s thinking into tomorrow ’ s reality .
Hint : you know a FutureThon is working when you can turn off all the lights in the room and the buzz from the participants has enough energy to light the room up .

I n this extraordinary , one-off , absolutely unique event we will gather together your best and brightest , your staff , stakeholders , suppliers , collaborators , partners , customers , and clients and blend them with a room full of our own free thinkers , entrepreneurs , designers , developers , nerds , geeks , engineers , designers , students and potential users and give them all one clear directive : start from scratch ( or an existing idea ) and come back with a working idea , or prototype .

Generally , these events last from 2 - 8 hours ( but they have been known to go 24 -48 hours as well ), are filled with food , caffeine , prizes , and you guessed it , more caffeine and after time runs out the tribes demo what they ’ ve discovered and compete for prizes .
Behind the scenes we will work with you collaboratively to set the scene , develop appropriate scenarios and conversation starters , work with you to choose the best tribe of participants , build an event structure and agenda , assemble the tribe and crew , introduce the day , teach the participants how to collaborate and what to do , guide and support them throughout the event and then facilitate the pitch at the end – and between you and me along the way we ’ ll throw in a few surprises , rewards , twists and curveballs – just to keep the creative juices on edge and flowing .
