Reconnaissance
Papers Several weeks prior to each TTI/Vanguard
conference, members receive copies of articles and papers relating
to upcoming session topics.
These preconference readings complement the conferences and enable
attendees to participate actively in formal and informal discussions.
Conference
Highlights Days after each TTI/Vanguard conference,
attendees receive summaries of the speakers' presentations and associated citations.
These "trip reports" are
available for circulation and discussion throughout member organizations.
Reinforcement
Papers Members receive comprehensive reports from
each conference within six weeks after each session. Reinforcement
Papers synthesize key
themes and provide expanded summaries from the meetings. Ideas
are cross-indexed to previous TTI/Vanguard sessions for thorough
referencing.
Online Archives During the conference, members have immediate
access to speaker slides. Within days of each meeting,
audio and slide presentations from each
session
are
posted
in the
Member Archives. Members have access to this multimedia knowledge base,
which also includes related pre- and postconference papers
and reports. Materials are cross-indexed and fully searchable.
Conference materials are also available to members via RSS
feeds and podcasts.
TTI/Vanguard Library In conjunction with each session, members
receive recently published books, chosen to extend ideas
and topics being addressed. The aggregate
of this collection is an impressive library that provides
members with additional perspectives on issues covered in
the sessions,
and serves as a catalyst for new thinking.
Field
Trips TTI/Vanguard field trips present opportunities
for members to visit the world's leading research institutes
and development laboratories. Held in conjunction with one
or
more of the conferences
throughout
the year, these field trips allow members to preview new
technologies and high payoff applications years in advance
of their market
entry.
