Consensus Point

In the last decade, prediction markets have emerged as a powerful tool for harnessing the collective intelligence of a group of individuals for the purpose of forecasting future events and improving the decision-making process.  Several Fortune 500 corporations such as GE, Best Buy, Motorola, Intel, Google, and others have been utilizing markets to harness the collective intelligence of their employees, partners, and customers in order to manage risks, predict sales and industry trends, collect market research, allocate resources, generate ideas, and many other functions.

If you are interested in learning more about prediction markets or are considering employing this methodology within your organization, this conference has been designed for you.
