​Emerging Trends & Tools: Using Internet Pipes to Stay Ahead of the Curve

​In a world that is moving so quickly, it can feel like you’re always reacting from behind. But what if you could spot trends before the rest of the world scrambles to catch up?

​Not so long ago, surfacing these trends was difficult – if not impossible. But the Internet has ushered in a new era where billions surf the web every single day, leaving behind clues about what they really want, love, buy, and more. These insights are scattered across the web in plain sight, and with the right knowledge, anyone can access them.

​In this session, Steph Smith will give you a glimpse into several tools (or as Steph likes to call them, Internet Pipes) that she uses to surface trends.

​You’ll leave this session with a pulse on several new trends, but more importantly, a new toolkit for identifying what people really want, instead of just your intuition.
