Many event businesses focus on incremental improvements rather than transformative experiences. This is why most large-scale business events typically have an NPS between -30 and 30. Matt Middleton, CEO of Future Proof, shares, "To build something valuable, you must know and listen to your audience, understand that your audience doesn’t know what they don’t know, and always trust your gut." This mindset led Future Proof to achieve a remarkable NPS of 71, based on feedback from thousands of attendees. Discover how a bold vision turned skepticism into a world-class experience and set a new standard. Link below. https://lnkd.in/g2_irfTJ

Despite a firmwide push to adopt AI, over 80% of advisors agreed that more work needs to be done before AI's full benefits can be realized. "Once the primary fintech providers integrate generative AI into their platforms, mass adoption will follow," said Nyle Bayer, CMO at Future Proof. "Right now, the technology is still new, and adoption in finance is historically slow. We need larger fintechs to lead the way and set the standard for the rest of the industry."

Future Proof still lingers in your feed for a very good reason. This 4-day MEGA CUT recap video sure tries to capture it... (Audio on and turn it up!) ...but it's very difficult to describe and almost impossible to put into words. Future Proof Festival was: The right message. The right people. The right event. The right place. The right time. It captured lightning in a a bottle like nothing I've ever seen before. Future Proof Festival was smack dab in the intersection of: Behavioral finance and technical analysis Good vibes and perfect execution Harmony and melody Left and right brain Art and science For me, Future Proof Festival was life-changing (and I don't throw that term around lightly).
