Every Vanguard conference includes a group of guest experts entrepreneurs, inventors, scientists, business practitioners, technologists, authors and journalists, commentators and futurists, creative artists and policy makers. All attendees have a live microphone at their desktop. Vanguard is a membership organization. Pricing is based upon the number of seats contracted over the course of a year, which includes 5 consecutive sessions. Further, we believe that it is only by attending sessions over time, that the full value of our predictions and our network can be measured.
Membership starts whenever a member organization wants it to begin.
Vanguard s program is designed to be flexible. We encourage organizations to match their internal expertise with the topics we offer and to bring individuals from throughout an organization to sessions. Attendees from organizations are typically CTOs and CIOs, or others within an organization who have strategic responsibility for e-business, network architecture, or research and development. There is no requirement for these as being the only levels that can attend, however. Additionally, organizations have up to 25 passwords to the Members Only area of the website, which posts audio and slide presentations from each session.
