We recently wrapped up three days of virtual events for our bi-annual Inogen Alliance Associates meetings. The three days were filled with interactive meetings online packed full of technical expertise and innovative solutions and trends.
The report defines the Brands Taking Stands movement succinctly: “A growing roster of Blue Chip companies are using their powerful voices to urge continued U.S. support of the Paris Climate Agreement, to strengthen gun control laws, to fight immigration laws that would negatively impact Dreamers, to champion diversity and inclusion, and to protect LGBTQ rights, among other hot-button and often political issues.”
What business strategists, and those of us who report on their projections, are on the lookout for is a trend that becomes much more than a cultural snapshot.

Cisco was founded on the possibilities of a single connection between two people. Over thirty years later, that one connection has multiplied to billions, two founders have grown to 75,000 employees, and the world is filled with an unprecedented complexity and opportunity. What remains unchanged is our belief in the power of connections to achieve what’s possible – for our customers, partners, employees, and the world.
With a single connection Cisco changed the world – and we continue to do so today. This is why I couldn’t be more excited to introduce our new Cisco campaign, The Bridge to Possible.
