New Program: "Rising Stars" at FiRe 2011 Bring Your Young Company Stars with You to FiRe
SNS MEMBERS: In last year's post-conference survey, many of you indicated a desire to see younger talent joining us. Today, in a brand-new FiRe 2011 *Rising Stars* program, we are inviting senior company members who are paid attendees for FiRe 2011 to register, as their guests, up to 2 young stars from their company, at a strong discount. Your Rising Star guests will have the unique opportunity to experience the power of FiRe, along with up to 200 C-level executives in world technology, finance, telecommunications, government, and more, covered by the highest level of domestic and global press.
Space is limited for this new program, so registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. Qualifying Rising Stars employees of your company who are age 35 or under and are not yet registered for the FiRe conference will receive a discounted registration fee of $2,900. (That's $2,000 below the normal rate.) Please register your Rising Stars by contacting Lauren at lauren@stratnews.com or 617-733-5686.
We look forward to seeing you and your Rising Stars in May.

Publisher's Note: Each year we publish a FiRe Agenda and Trends preview over two issues. This year we have combined last week's and this week's to form a single issue. We hope you find it useful. mra.
» The FiRe 2011 Agenda: Trends We're Tracking
Every year, as we approach our Future in Review conference, we publish the current version of the agenda, along with comments about the trends we've distilled into these discussions. For those not attending FiRe, this should provide the closest experience you could have in gaining exposure to what trends matter most in the next few years. For those attending, it will help you prepare for the discussions you'll be having with global experts on these subjects in a few short weeks.
By reading this issue, all members will also see some new trends we are unearthing, and have not yet had a chance to write about. In some cases such as the next revolution in Car Computing I found myself forming a theory out of necessity, based solely on the existence of the iPod/iPhone stereo input wire, for example, only to find that internal company planning and technology efforts were (in some cases) exactly in line with this unannounced new trend.

SNS: The FiRe 2011 Agenda: Trends We're Tracking
We have recently returned from our final pre-FiRe site visit to the magnificent Montage Laguna Beach Hotel. With every room offering an ocean view, and three swimming beaches out front, this is easily the most beautiful hotel FiRe has had the pleasure to take over.
