INDUSTRY VOICES—JARICH: A 2018 HOLIDAY WISH LIST

With less than a week to go before Christmas, we are quickly approaching the “festive season” as my U.K. colleagues call it. I’m not particularly clear on the exact dates of the season and why I’m not allowed to be festive all year round, but I do know that this generally aligns with “prediction season”: the time of year when expectations for the year to come are plentiful.

For those of you expecting a list of predictions to follow, I’m afraid I will have to disappoint; my 2017 New Year’s resolution was to avoid predictions and there’s still a few days left on that one. Instead, I’ll focus less on what I think will happen in 2018 and more on a “wish list” for the year ahead.
