SUMMARY:Future Shock: Catalyst Business Summit 2026
DESCRIPTION:Catalyst Business Summit 2026: Future Shock\n\nThe future isn't coming. It's already here.\n\nJoin us for the 2026 Catalyst Business Summit: Future Shock a full day of ideas\, insight\, and connection for business and community leaders navigating a world of extraordinary change.\n\nTechnology is evolving. Workforce expectations are shifting. New industries are emerging. The way we communicate\, lead\, work\, and connect is changing faster than ever.\n\nFuture Shock is about more than predicting what comes next.

Come ready to connect. Come ready for a little Future Shock.\n\nJoin us Thursday\, October 22\, for Catalyst Business Summit 2026.\n\nThe future is changing. Let's decide what we do with it.\n\nSeats are limited. Reserve your spot today.\n\nInterested in becoming a sponsor? Contact Susan Kraut to learn more about partnership opportunities.
