A live Trending 2027 experience from Foresight Factory
Date: 1 October 2026 | Time: 2:00 – 5:00pm
Location: Think Tank, 8 Bishopsgate, London EC2N 4BQ | Format: In-person event, with a segment broadcast live on LinkedIn
In a world full of risk, the bigger challenge is not simply avoiding failure. It is knowing where to find opportunity before everyone else can see it.
Control Shift Live: The Future Opportunity Lab brings the themes of Trending 2027 to life through an interactive foresight experience for senior leaders across insight, strategy, innovation, brand, customer experience and commercial growth. The session will explore how organisations can ask sharper questions, spot meaningful signals earlier and turn change into commercial advantage. For those unable to attend in London, a segment of the event will also be broadcast live on LinkedIn.
What to expect
We will open with a short introduction to Control Shift, including key opportunity areas and examples from the Trending 2027 report. This will be followed by a panel discussion with brands and leaders who are finding new ways to take control in their categories, bringing practical examples, debate and discussion around what is changing and where opportunity may emerge next.
Guests attending in person will then step into a fictional business scenario set in 2030. The signals were visible. The opportunities were there. So why were they missed? Working in teams, guests will examine the evidence, identify the signals that mattered and explore the decisions that could have changed the outcome. The experience then turns the lens back on their own organisations through a live Foresight360 assessment, helping them understand how ready they are to spot change, make sense of it and act with confidence. The session is designed to move beyond trend watching and into practical foresight.
The takeaway? A sharper view of the questions leaders should be asking, the signals they should be watching and the organisational readiness needed to turn uncertainty into advantage.
