Annual Ten-Year Forecast Summit

Institute for the Future's Ten-Year Forecast Summit is our annual thought-provoking gathering on the future of society, economy, work, organizations, and technology, plus exclusive sessions for IFTF Vantage to network and share strategic insights. The Ten-Year Forecast provides experiences, tools, and networks to empower attendees to find the signals amongst the noise and build better futures for all.

The Age of Distributed Superpowers

October 23-24, 2019  |  San Francisco Bay Area

This year's Ten-Year Forecast Summit is a 2-day immersion in the extreme powers and equally extreme consequences that will define the coming decade for businesses, communities, and individuals around the world. From the ethical navigation of new technologies to the adaptation strategies of climate change, we've been scouring the world for power plays that will help your organization to cultivate and responsibly wield the superpowers of the twenty-first century.

Highlights from Previous Summits

Publicly-available research from past summits »        

In 1968, IFTF's founders wrote:

We live in a period of rapid and vast change. As change quickens in tempo and widens in sweep, the risks and opportunities that confront us call increasingly for expanded efforts to lead the course of events, rather than be led by them. An awareness of the future has thus become more important to the present than ever before.

For over 50 years, Institute for the Future has helped companies, governments, and individuals think creatively and pragmatically about the future. We achieve this by developing tools and methodologies that guide and accelerate the transformation of long-term foresight into practical, near-term insight.

Partner with IFTF today and join us at the 2019 Ten-Year Forecast Summit on the future of society, economy, work, organizations, and technology and help steer your enterprise, foundation, nonprofit, or agency towards the future it wants, not one that occurs by chance.
