Join the 24-hour Round-the-World conversation to celebrate World Future Day beginning March 1st in New Zealand at 12 noon NZ time and moving West each hour ending up at 12 noon in Hawaii.
This is an open conversation on how to build a better future.
You can join in at 12 noon your time and join futurists and others to explore possibilities for our common future.
Each year total strangers, discuss ideas about possible worlds of tomorrow in a relaxed, open, no-agenda conversation. Futures research is shared, collaborations are created, and new friendships are made.
Anybody can pull up a cyber chair at this global table and join the discussion on ZOOM at: https://zoom.us/j/9795262723. Whatever
time zone you are in, you are invited at 12:00 noon in your time zone. People drop in and out as they like. If people can’t come online at 12 noon, they are welcome to come online before or after that time as well.
Each year, for the past six years, global thought leaders have shared their views about governing artificial intelligence, inventing future employment, building space elevators to orbital cities, reducing climate change, guaranteeing safe water and energy, fighting transnational organized crime, developing future forms of democracy, countering information warfare, incorporating global ethics in decisionmaking, enforcing safety standards for synthetic biology, and the future of humanity. Who knows what will be discuss this year? You can use #worldfutureday
This year we will be joined by Vint Cerf, Internet Pioneer at 12 noon Brussels time.
Members of the press are most welcome to join the conversation asking questions to this diverse group of future-oriented people; however, Chatham House Rule applies: you can quote, use material, but not cite the source.
So, come online and join the conversation with others working to build a better future.
