Strategic Horizons' thinkAbout is the flagship offering hosted by Pine & Gilmore since 1998. It is the premier event where leaders in the Experience Economy gather to share, learn, network, and explore new ideas in the design and staging of experiences and the growing consumer desire for authenticity.

Pine & Gilmore personally design and direct each thinkAbout as a series of staged experiences to foster creativity, innovation, learning, and idea exchange. thinkAbout participants are never referred to as mere “attendees,” as they are expected to be active participants in the learning, willing to discard their pre-conceived notions about what a conference should be. Participants must be prepared to jump right in, mix it up and go with the flow. At thinkAbout, provocations abound and focused creativity wins the day.
