If 2020 was focused on survival as an industry, and 2021 was about coming out of the pandemic and aiming for a return to some normalcy—then 2022 is about looking far into the future and embracing big ideas again.

As Datassential put together its 2022 “Trends to Watch” list, we considered both the short-term trends that will impact the year ahead and the long-term trends that will help us prepare for future success. We encourage you to do the same.
