Every major publication, and many minor ones, for every industry and field, publishes trends in January. If you’ve wondered how anyone can possibly keep up with even the most relevant ones, let alone make time for trends outside one’s industry or field, then this Forum is for you.

We’re back with our most popular topic of the past several years! We’ve done the heavy lifting with a meta-analysis to discover the trends among the trends, the patterns that transcend industries and fields, and the forces driving the opportunities and risks for 2026.

With AI adoption accelerating, middle management collapsing, and strategic alignment at historic lows, understanding these patterns NOW is how you position your organization ahead of disruption rather than react to it.

Virtual Executive Forum
Trends Among Trends 2026
February 10th | 11:00 am-12:00 pm ET via Zoom

Join fellow executives to discuss insights and ideas for what these trends among trends mean for your organization this year.

The Next Big Thing Executive Forum is a monthly series that brings together small groups of C-Suite executives and senior leaders for off-the-record, peer-to-peer, idea-exchange conversations. We cover topics essential to defining, designing and successfully realizing your “next big thing,” whether it’s a new strategic initiative, internal policy shift or significant organizational transformation. There’s no fee to participate and no sales pitch at the event. To honor our “off-the-record” commitment, recordings are not made available. The real value is being “in the room.”
