    Bookings open for Flux Trend Review

    The 2007 Flux Trend Review, in association with Bizcommunity.com is a two-day trends conference aimed at both business and consumers. It will take place in Johannesburg on 7-8 September 2007.

    The Flux Trend Review is the brainchild of trend analyst and media personality Dion Chang: “The conference will allow delegates to hit the pause button and to take stock of where we are, and where we're going. As we find ourselves bombarded with information 24 hours a day, we have less time to absorb, less time to reflect and as a result, less time to make measured or informed decisions. We edit the information flung at us, and discard the information that is not immediately within our immediate area of interest.”

    “The Flux Trend Review aims to help you make more informed decisions and adjust your strategies with confidence,” explains Chang.

The fact that Dion and the other speakers will decode and present that information in digestible and relevant portions is hugely attractive and we are very proud to be associated with the Flux event.”
