Association of Professional Futurists

The Association of Professional Futurists is a community of professional futurists committed to leadership and excellence in the futures field. Our members provide unique perspectives to help people anticipate and influence the future.

We are a global community which aims to set the standard of excellence for foresight professionals. Members include futurists from businesses, governments and non-profits, consulting futurists, educators, and students in futures studies. 

We meet regularly, host active electronic discussions among practitioners, provide professional development programs, and offer a rich body of ideas and information about the future for the public.

We invite you to browse the site to find out more about what we do. If you are interested in joining, visit the Membership page where you can apply online. And, if you have any questions, please do get in touch. 


Thank you for joining us 26-27 October for the V-Gathering Futures Festival, eighteen hours and twenty sessions about cutting edge futures work. We enjoyed a feast of presentations by leading thinkers from across the globe. We've posted the first few recordings (you can find them under VGathering Admin tab at left) and will be posting remainder of the sessions for attendees shortly.

In the meantime, a few slidedecks and blog articles have been posted.
