“The future is already here — it’s just not evenly distributed,” William Gibson famously said. Future Day aims to do something about that.
The global event begins at noon March 1 in New Zealand (6 PM Friday Feb. 28 in New York), when Stephanie Pride of the World Futures Studies Federation launches the Future Day Google Hangout, and continues in cities around the world.
Groups in dozens of locations are participating, including Beijing, New Delhi, Rome, London, Melbourne, Dubai, Berlin, Tokyo, Mexico City, Amsterdam, Sydney, Hong Kong, Paris, Nawabganj (Kanpur, India), São Paulo, Stockholm, and Edmonton; and in Columbia, Venezuela, Peru, Israel, and Iran.
U.S. locations include Hawaii, Los Angeles, Thanksgiving Point (Utah), Seattle, Springfield (Illinois), San Francisco (@BIL), Washington, D.C., and Piedmont, California (Transhuman Visions 2.0 conference).
