Daniel Burrus is one of the world's leading technology forecasters, and is the founder and CEO of Burrus Research Associates, Inc., a research and consulting firm that specializes in global innovations in science and technology, their creative application and future impact. The New York Times has referred to him as one of America's top three business "gurus" in the highest demand as a speaker. He has delivered over 1,800 keynote speeches to corporations, associations, and professional organizations worldwide.
 
Since 1983, he has established an exceptional record of accurately predicting the future of technological change. He has helped hundreds of clients develop successful competitive strategies based on the creative application of leading-edge technologies.
 
Mr. Burrus' client list includes a wide range of industries, including many Fortune 500 companies such as GE, Lucent Technologies, Du Pont, Bell Atlantic, Toshiba, Bank One, Andersen Consulting, Exxon, and Sara Lee.
 
He produces a variety of technology publications, including the Technotrends® Newsletter, and is the author of six books including the highly acclaimed book Technotrends, which has been translated into over a dozen languages. In addition, he will have a major new book release due in 2000.
 
His interest in research became apparent in his third year of college when he became one of the first undergraduates in the nation to direct a federal research grant. He has founded and managed five businesses in a variety of fields, and as a highly successful entrepreneur he knows how to translate research findings into practical business advantages.
 
In his presentations, Mr. Burrus blends timely and provocative information with just the right amount of humor and motivation to help his audiences understand how to make a rapidly changing business environment a competitive advantage by getting all members of an organization involved in creatively utilizing the new tools of technology.
