2000 - 2003 - The Future of Entertainment (FOE)

The Future of Entertainment (FOE) seminars have been developed for musicians, filmmakers and other entertainment professionals who want to understand changes that will sweep through entertainment during the next decade,  and apply them to their own careers.

FOE consists of a series of seminars and publications which use generational marketing to predict the direction entertainment will take as the new, "Millennial" generation (born after 1982) replaces Gen-X as the primary "culture creators" in our society. FOE has been developed by  Dr. Pete Markiewicz, Indiespace co-founder and an expert on generational theory and marketing, and Jeannie Novak, CEO/founder of Indiespace. Our work uses many concepts first developed by William Strauss & Neil Howe, and we've recently formed an association with LifeCourse Associates to further this connection.
