Welcome!

The World Future Society U.S. National Capital Region Chapter is an organization by and for professionals in all industries and all levels of government who prepare for the future by acting today.

The Chapter provides an independent, interdisciplinary, open forum to learn, explore, develop, produce and promote futures thinking. Our vision is to be the center for ideas in Greater Washington, D.C. that leverages the resources unique to this region in order to craft better futures for ourselves and our world. To this end we offer a variety of programming, a world-wide distributed magazine Future Takes, and a forum in which to engage other forward thinkers.

		Association of Professional Futurists ( APF ) to Host Virtual Futures Festival in October Featuring presentations on crazy futures, insights from art/design/architecture, futures/foresight methods and building a futures career. A unique futures event, so it should be of great interest. On October 26/27, 2011 the Association of Professional Futurists APF will hold a V-Gathering Futures Festival, a worldwide virtual futures gathering that will "follow the sun" with lots of presentations of interest to professional futurists and anyone practicing strategic foresight.
