Title: "Re-inventing Learning Processes for the 21st Century"
Presenter: Bill Peter
Abstract: How do humans learn? Does the learning process start at conception, or at birth, or at
Kindergarten? Are the learning processes different now than they were 1,000 years ago? What roles will
schools have in the learning process in the next 90 years of the 21st Century? What might happen in the
future? What probably will happen in the 21st Century?
What do we want to make happen, thereby creating the future of the processes of learning? Bill will help us
answer some of these questions in a new format of our Minnesota Futurists’ meeting: “Creative Group
Thinking for the 21st Century."

Economics/Market SIG
Title:"Eleven Investment Themes for 2011"
Presenters: Rog Rydberg & Dick Saunders
Abstract: 2010 was a surprisingly strong year for stocks in the face of lackluster economic growth. What trends
will prevail in 2011? A survey of market strategists shows an unusually wide divergence of opinions, from
continued moderate growth to a sharp downturn ahead. Some of our favorite sectors -- and yours.
