Networking with WFS

One of the principal ways the World Future Society promotes an open dialogue about the future is through World Future Society conferences and events.

The Society holds a two-day, international conference once a year where participants discuss foresight techniques and global trends that are influencing the future. Previous conference attendees have included future U.S. President Gerald Ford (1974), Massachusetts Senator Edward M. Kennedy (1975), behavioral psychologist B.F. Skinner (1984), age-wave expert Ken Dychtwald (2005), U.S. comptroller general David M. Walker (2006), and scientist and inventor Ray Kurzweil (2006).

On this site, you will also find a number of forums relating to the future. Our forum participants come from all around the world.

The society has chapters and groups all over the world. We also offer a member-exclusive Linkedin Site and a Facebook page that is open to the public.

Upcoming events and meetings: WorldFuture 2011, Vancouver
