With all the executive turnover, it feels like this Forum is going to be rough from a client messaging perspective. I'd be seriously questioning if there is enough actual leadership to move the company forward.
Also, the conference website shows only two featured speakers, Takis and a behavioral scientist I have never heard of. In years past there has been former presidents and major celebrities. I hope more is going to be announced soon because that is a very weak lineup.
It’s Temu forum this year, clients notice this sort of amateur hour stuff. Surprised we didn’t move it to Motel 6.
Last year they had the Sharks there, this year it's a bunch of minnows. Honestly, what are clients going to hear about that is actually new and interesting?
Budget Forum 2026: sadly, there won’t be no homecoming king and queen to distract the clients while their actual problems…sit there in the audience, unaddressed, like the world’s saddest wallflower. I must say, ML and DS gave us great press pictures, like a movie premiere.
Forum will implode and the company will sink into irrelevance.
Forum is Ph--k3d. My only experience was going 10+ years ago and it was fun back then.
I've never been there either, but Its odd that the agenda is still not fully complete and no big names or celebs are on the it.
I’ve never been to Fiserv Forum before, so I’m not really sure what goes on. The OneRepublic concert is really what I’m interested in. I’d love to hear some past stories or experiences from Forum. I’ve seen some interesting comments about it here.
All true
