As the closing keynote speaker for this year's Professional Insurance Marketing Association (PIMA) Conference global futurist Jack Uldrich aims to help PIMA members understand how technological trends, business forces and social media are merging to create fresh and innovative opportunities in the affinity market.

Uldrich's keynote for the event, "The Big AHA: How to Future-Proof Your Business Against Tomorrow's Trends will address the cutting edge trends in technology, including advances in mobile payments, the Internet of Things, "Big Data," peer-to-peer lending, wearable technology, artificial intelligence and collaborative consumption.

He also offers powerful, constructive guidance for leveraging rapid technology-driven change into a competitive advantage.

"The pace and scale of tomorrows change begs the obvious question: How does a business leader prepare for a constantly changing future? The answer can be found in a simple acronym: AHA.

A Futurist's Forecast For Latest Business Trends in the Affinity Benefits Industry

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) January 29, 2015

Cleaning products play an essential role in our daily lives, and over the years technological advances have revolutionized the industry. Cleaning crosses into our homes and businesses, and out onto our streets. Cleaning products and services have become essential in the everyday life of the modern consumer. And the market continues to grow year after year - global sales of household cleaning products alone are predicted to reach $147 billion in 2017. Enter futurist Jack Uldrich.

On January 30th the American Cleaning Institute (ACI) is gathering for their Annual Meeting & Industry Convention in Orlando with futurist and business trend expert Jack Uldrich as one of their keynote speakers.

Uldrich, who annually predicts the global trends for each coming year, speaks all over the world to a vast array of audiences from large telecommunications firms like Verizon to his most recent keynote delivered to the Independent Bike Dealers (IBD) in Arizona. Uldrich paints vivid pictures of what the world may look like in just a few short years. He provides an in-depth exploration of how the Internet of Things, Big Data, social media, robotics, biotechnology, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, renewable energy and collaborative consumption will change everyday life for all of us in the very near future.

Uldrich's passion for nanotechnology spurs him to deliver potent insights on the trends toward environmental awareness in the cleaning industry, as well as shine insights on how technology will affect things like fragrance, and aesthetics in the industry. And his knowledge of manufacturing trends will hone in on how the packaging of cleaning products will shift in the years to come. Uldrich's goal is to help members of ACI future-proof their businesses so that they can leverage the tides of change to their advantage.

Following his keynote address for ACI Uldrich will be speaking to Professional Insurance Marketing Association, the Wisconsin Bankers Association, the Farm Credit Bank of Texas and at the Outsourcing World Summit.

Parties interested in learning more about him, his books, his daily blog or his speaking availability are encouraged to visit his website. Media wishing to know more about either the event or interviewing Jack as a futurist or trend expert can contact Amy Tomczyk at (651) 343.0660.

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) January 28, 2015

Charles M. Schulz, author of the Peanuts cartoon, once famously said, "Life is like a ten speed bicycle. Most of us have gears we never use." "Nothing could be more true in today's world where our metaphorical gears are increasing at warp speed," says futurist Jack Uldrich. Uldrich will be addressing the Independent Bike Dealers (IBD) Summit, in Tempe, Arizona on Thursday, January 29th with his keynote address, "Business as Unusual" which will focus on how the IBD can start future-proofing their businesses against the trends of tomorrow.

Highly acclaimed speaker and best selling author Jack Uldrich travels the world addressing a wide variety of organizations from telecommunications to healthcare, manufacturing to education. His message is clear: The future is predictably unpredictable. And the way to prepare for it is by embracing the paradox of seeing your own ignorance as the path to wisdom.

From the League of Innovation to Pfizer and Verizon, Uldrich addresses the top business trends affecting all of these industries. In one of his latest blog posts he covers the top ten technological trends that will transform the world in 2015. When it comes to the IBD, Uldrich says the trends in nanotechnology, manufacturing and 3D printing will in all likelihood have the most impact.

While the need for speed may be the goal some consumers have in mind when it comes to cycling, others are looking at the quality of the bikes themselves with the materials that are light and long lasting. Others simply want to know that the simple joys of biking won't be undone by the technological advances. In other words, that the gears beyond 10 won't complicate life so much that getting out on the trail or road will inhibit the joys of a good ride.

In addressing organizations like The Entrepreneurs Organization and IBD, Uldrich aims to inform these innovative business people of the trends that are coming their way and to encourage them to embrace his acronym of AHA---Awareness, Humility and Action---as fundamental tools that will guide them through the technological tides of change. "While technology may be changing at warp speed, good business sense is firmly rooted in these principles of the past. The paradox of embracing both is crucial to an independent dealer's success."
