Futurist to hold two seminars

Two seminars will be held by futurist, author and Sarasota resident David Houle at the Longboat Key Center for the Arts.

The first of these Futurshift events, set for 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Friday, is entitled "Brand shift: the future of brands and marketing."

It will discuss the current and future forces and technologies that are shaping and disrupting the marketing of brands and give people "a solid foundation for marketing your brand over the next five to 10 years," Houle said.

The next event will be 8:30 to 3:30 p.m. March 24. It is titled "The new health age: the future of health care and medicine."

It will discuss the trends reshaping the health care landscape, identify strategies to keep personal and company health care costs down and "some of the medical miracles just ahead that may impact your life."

Each seminar costs $500, which includes a continental breakfast, a networking lunch and a copy of a book by Houle. A maximum of 20 people will take part in each event, Houle said.

The Longboat Key Center for the Arts, a division of the Ringling College of Art and Design, is at 6860 Longboat Drive S., Longboat Key.
